1. Larry Fitzgerald

Many Cardinals fans didn’t think Fitz would be here in 2016 much less 2015.  Some thought the Cardinals would have been better off trading him during the 2014 season or in the following offseason while he still carried value.

The Cardinals front office didn’t listen to any of that and re-signed him to a new contract.  Some initially thought he was overpaid but he earned every cent in 2015.  He caught a career-high 109 passes and there is no reason to believe he won’t challenge that number again in 2016.

2. John Brown

Brown was quite the find two years ago out of tiny Pittsburg State in Kansas.  General Manager Steve Keim knew what he was doing when he drafted him.

Brown caught 65 passes for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns last year.  His speed is blazing making him hard to catch no matter his size.  Many look to him to challenge Michael Floyd as the number one overall receiver once Fitz retires in a couple of years.
