Arizona Cardinals: Larry Fitzgerald moves up the list
By Scott Allen
Arizona Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald continued his march towards the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Sunday
Whether Arizona Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald decides to return in 2017 or not at this point, he has one thing cemented. He will be a first-ballot hall of famer.
On Sunday he moved to third on the all-time receptions list, passing Cris Carter and Marvin Harrison. He passed Andre Johnson to now sit 10th in all-rime receiving yards.
Fitz lead the Cardinals with 10 receptions on Sunday for 78 yards. He didn’t have any touchdowns but that didn’t matter.
Maybe his most impressive catch of the day wasn’t his record-breaker but his reception to get a first down on a tough third and three. He stretched the ball out to gain the first down. He knew exactly where he was on the field.
On the field and off the field since 2004, Fitz has remained a consistent true professional. There is no player, receiver or otherwise, that works as hard day in and day out like Fitz does.
This season the Cardinals have relied on Fitz more with injuries and struggles of receivers John Brown, Jaron Brown, and Michael Floyd. Fitz has played through the couple of injuries he has had to deal with this season.
