Larry Fitzgerald

There is almost nothing that needs to be written here. Uttering the name of Larry Fitzgerald is enough for most Cardinals fans.

The future Hall of Fame wide receiver will be with the Arizona Cardinals in 2020. Fitzgerald is not just the second highest paid member of the team (tied with Patrick Peterson), he is THE face of the Cardinals.

Through 16 years in the NFL Fitzgerald has accumulated 17,083 yards and 120 touchdowns. He currently has the second most career yards, second most career receptions, and sixth most career receiving touchdowns in the history of the league.

Fitzgerald is also in the running for the title of “Best Hands in NFL History.” Over his career he has been targeted 2,263 times with only 29 dropped passes as a result. Let this sink in as well: Fitzgerald has more career tackles, 39, than he does dropped passes.

There really is no point in going through all of Fitzgerald’s accolades to prove he deserves to be on the team. Of course he does.

The question is: Who deserves to be on Larry Fitzgerald’s team?
