McBride addresses controversial Arizona fan comments
Trey McBride walked back his offseason comments suggesting there were no Arizona fans, apologizing and praising the loyal, supportive fanbase while expressing excitement for a winning season. He had previously described Arizona as full of transplant fans on a podcast, a remark tied to low attendance that has persisted despite the team's on-field struggles. McBride’s 2025 season was historically productive, earning first-team All-Pro honors with 126 receptions for 1,239 yards and 11 touchdowns, and he signed a four-year extension to stay with the Cardinals. The team continues to face competitiveness concerns and attendance challenges, hoping improved performance will draw more in-state support. McBride emphasized his love for Arizona and his commitment to giving fans something to cheer about as training camp progressed.
