Larry Fitzgerald is one of the most productive, reliable, and celebrated wide receivers in NFL history. Selected third overall in the 2004 NFL Draft out of the University of Pittsburgh, Fitzgerald spent his entire 17-season career with the Arizona Cardinals (2004–2020).
Renowned for having arguably the finest hands in football history, he ranks second all-time in NFL history in both career receptions (1,432) and receiving yards (17,492), trailing only Jerry Rice in both categories. An 11-time Pro Bowler, 2016 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year, and member of the NFL 100th Anniversary All-Time Team, Fitzgerald produced one of the greatest individual postseason runs in league history during Arizona's 2008 Super Bowl XLIII campaign.
