Fitzgerald was recently recognized by the NFL, and co-awarded the Walter Payton Man of the Year. In the past, he’s also been given the Art Rooney NFL Sportsmanship Award and the Arthur S Arkush Humanitarian Award. His contribution to the community is well established, and certainly notable.

On the field, Fitzgerald is a certain Hall of Famer. He’s a ten time Pro Bowler who currently sits third all-time in career receptions, eight all-time in career receiving touchdowns, and ninth all-time in career receptions. He’ll be even higher on those lists after the coming season.

As his career winds down, Fitzgerald continues to play at a high level, and is the greatest player in Cardinals history. His impact on the field can’t be denied. However, as great an impact as he’s had as a player, the things he has done, and continues to do, off the field, are what really sets him apart, and will be his greatest legacy.
