Biography

NoteCARDS:

  • Selected by the Cardinals in the fifth round (174th overall) of the 2025 NFL Draft out of Ohio State.
  • Saw action in all 17 games (eight starts) as a rookie and totaled 47 tackles, three INTs, 11 passes defensed, two tackles, for loss and two tackles on special teams. His three INTs and 11 passes defensed were both team highs.
  • Joined LB Jordan Burch as the only 2025 draft picks to appear in all 17 games for the Cardinals.
  • Became the first Cardinals rookie with 3+ INTs and 10+ passes defensed since Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (19 PD, 4 INT) in 2008.
  • Dating back to the Cardinals first season in Arizona in 1988, Burke (3) became just the fourth Cardinals player to have at least three INTs in his rookie season, and the first to do so since CB Patrick Peterson (4) in 2011.
  • Joined Atlanta S Xavier Watts (5) as the only rookies in the NFL with at least three INTs in 2025.
  • Joined teammate CB Will Johnson (10) as two of only five rookies in the NFL with 10+ passes defensed in 2025.
  • In Weeks 9 (at Dallas) and 10 (at Seattle), became the first Cardinals rookie to have an INT in back-to-back games since Corey Chavous (Games 12-13) in 1998.
  • A native of Phoenix, he was a standout prep DB and WR who attended Brophy College Prep (Phoenix) before transferring to Saguaro (Scottsdale) High School. Became the first Arizona native drafted by the Cardinals since CB Byron Murphy Jr. (2019).
  • Set the record for the most starts by a defensive back (51) at Ohio State, joining a 50-start club at the school that includes just two other players: Billy Price (2014-17) and Luke Fickell (1993-96).
