Next Thursday can become a special day for the Cardinals organization at NFL Honors.

Larry Fitzgerald could become a first ballot Hall of Famer. Right tackle Kelvin Beachum is up for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, while safety Budda Baker hopes to earn the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award for the first time in his career.

But the accolades might not be to the players.

Kenny Salinas, the Cardinals 2025 Fan of the Year, is competing against supporters of other teams to be named the NFL's Ultimate Fan of the Year, presented by Captain Morgan. Cardinals fans can share their support for Salinas here. Polls close on Feb. 4 at 11:59 p.m. ET, 9:59 p.m. Arizona time.

A Cardinals fan for more than two decades, Salinas wears his Cardinals fandom on his sleeve -- literally. Salinas has a Cardinals-inspired tattoo on his left arm. While most fans wear traditional Cardinals jerseys, Salinas' game day attire features a variety of patches, making his look even more unique. He also earned the nickname "The License Plate Guy" due to his collection of more than 200 personalized Cardinals plates.

But as much as Salinas makes an impact on Sundays, it's what he does throughout the week that makes him deserving of the award. Salinas serves on five different local boards in Casa Grande and Pinal County, including as the President of the Casa Grande Food Bank. He has been the president for over 15 years. He also is a board member of the Salvation Army, Vice President of the Pinal County Junior Livestock Committee, among others.

The Cardinals donated 25,000 meals to the Casa Grande Food Bank in Salinas' honor.

NFL Honors will take place on Feb. 5 at 7 p.m. Arizona time.
