Now in his sixteenth seasons in the NFL, Larry Fitzgerald has proven that he is one of the most consistent and dependable wideouts to ever hit the field. Surprisingly, Fitzgerald did not fit the requirements to play football at the collegiate level as a freshman. However, Fitzgerald eventually made his way to the University of Pittsburgh where we would play two seasons of football in 2002 and 2003. In his final season with the team, Fitzgerald led the Big East in receptions with 92 and 1,672 yards and led the NCAA in touchdowns with 22 in a single season. In just two seasons, Fitzgerald set a school record with 34 touchdown receptions.
After being voted All-American at Pitt, Fitzgerald was drafted 3rd overall in the 2003 NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals where he's played his entire NFL career. The 11x Pro Bowler has led the NFL in touchdowns two times (2008, 2009) and receptions twice (2005, 2016). Fitzgerald's initial rookie contract landed him $55.4 million for five years of commitment and his 2011, seven-year extension with the Cardinals made him $113 million. Since 2016, Fitzgerald has renegotiated his contracts for one-year deals worth $11 million. If he continues to stay healthy and productive, he can continue to milk the system until the day he decides to hang his cleat up for good.
