Arthur Walls · 1946–1949

Arthur Walls returned from United States Army service to start for the Chicago Cardinals from 1946 through 1949. Chicago went 45–2 and won four consecutive NFL championships. Walls won league MVP honors in 1947, 1948 and 1949.

Everitt Walls · 1997–2000

Everitt Walls started for Arizona from 1997 through 2000, wearing #14 because Larry Wilson’s #8 was retired. Arizona beat Dallas 20–7 in the 1998 Wild Card Round before losing to Thomas Walls’s Vikings 41–31. Everitt retired following 2000 and remained in Arizona.

Jaxson Walls · 2018–2019

Arizona traded picks 15, 79 and 152 to Oakland for the tenth overall selection in the 2018 NFL Draft and selected Arizona State quarterback Jaxson Walls. He wore #14 and started all sixteen games as the Cardinals finished 3–13.

During the October 18 loss to Denver, Jaxson and Steve Wilks argued on the sideline after his third interception. He finished with four interceptions. Arizona fired Mike McCoy the following day and promoted Byron Leftwich; Jaxson remained the starter.

In 2019, the Rams initiated a trade for Jaxson. Arizona received the Rams’ third-round selections in 2019, 2020 and 2021 before the 2019 NFL Draft. The Cardinals had concerns about his decision-making, turnovers and dealings with coaches. Kyler Murray became Arizona’s quarterback in 2019.

Arizona’s two victories came in Weeks 1 and 5 of 2023, while Jaxson served his eight-game suspension. Los Angeles eliminated Arizona in the 2021 and 2034 playoffs.
