We probably won't see a wide receiver as poised and great as Larry Fitzgerald is for a long time when he decides to hang up his cleats for good. As a youth, Fitzgerald studied Randy Moss and Cris Carter as a ball boy for the Minnesota Viking. Following his two season stint with the University of Pittsburgh, where he was Heisman Trophy runner-up in 2003, Fitzgerald declared himself for the NFL Draft where he was drafted third overall by the Arizona Cardinals in 2004.
Since then, Fitzgerald has been a problem for defensive coordinators due to his exceptional route running ability and soft hands. Fitzgerald is the youngest wide receiver to reach 1,000 receptions and the 11x Pro Bowler is currently second in all-time receiving yards only behind Jerry Rice, third in career receptions, and sixth in receiving touchdowns. With Fitz at the age of 36 and beginning to think about life after football, he is guaranteed to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, but might have to face the reality of not being a Super Bowl Champion when it is all said and done.
