He immediately knelt to his level. Such a humble man.
Thats the first thing I noticed too.
I was really hoping he did that
Also how he asked if he (Tennyson) wanted to hold the ball or not. A small detail, however a very considerate one.
I valeted for Larry when I was younger and he sat and talked with me for like five minutes and let me take a picture. Dude was so nice, videos dont give it justice. He is the guy who will talk to you in the middle of the night after entertaining others and give you your time with him. I cant say this about any other celebrity or athlete. He is a gift.
What a run for that touchdown! The entire team was great about supporting Tennyson! The players and athletes that take time for kids and their communities are incredible men!
This man is AMAZING! and he played for PITT!!! He is the sweetest man
The Cardinals are the best guys!!! I love this little guy as well, praying for you little cardinal!
Larry Fitzgerald May be the most respected player in the NFL. What a first class athlete, as well as an even better man. That TD dance was awesome!
Im a hawk fan but 👏👏👏👏😅😅great job az .i liv in nm .love the help on very young ones👍👍👍💪💪👊👊👊
Not sure if there is a single person on earth that has a single bad thing to say about Fitz. He is the NFL’s best person.
Bo jackson is the nfls more like the okland raiders dumass nigga
Or Drew Brees
@@medic_7772 you have alot of hate
@@donnelladams163 That dude doesn't have hate. He is a sociopath. A big talk, coward sociopath. Truly the embodiment of sad and pathetic.
Drew K JJ Watt is pretty good too
I'm a huge Cowboys can but Larry Fitzgerald always been my favorite receiver ever since he came in the league. The world needs more guys like Larry. God bless you man.
Lincoln hawk I respect you sir 👍🏼
i’m a cowboys fan too and larry fitzgerald is one of my favorite players all time
Larry fitz should be the face of football just like Jordan is for basketball he is the most inspirational player.
Michael Place Jordan is not the face. Just the goat. He is an asshole.
Larry is the GOAT fuck Jerry
michael jordan is a selfish Dbag what are you talking about
Fredrick Butts Jordan isn’t the face of the NBA it’s lebron or steph or Kevin and I agree Larry should be the face because of the stuff he does off the field
Love MJ but the dude is an asshole.
For Larry there should be special place in Hall Fame for people like him.
Christopher Waters there really should be and you know what really sucks the way he’s ending his career with such a terrible coach like Steve wills
Thats what the Walter payton man of the year award is all about my friend
@@weskleist1454let's see how Kilff does
Its called Heaven
Christopher Waters there*
My favorite WR ever since I started watching football 🏈 one of the all time greats but more importantly, a great human being. Respect 👌🏽
he makes being an Arizona Cardinals fan feel great
a true class act
Respect to him.
But what sucks is that he hasn't won a super bowl yet. He absolutely deserves one
Tennyson is now cancer free as of today! (per Larry's Twitter page)
LESSSSS GOOOOOO
Seahawks fan here, but during this video I was a Cardinals fan. How can anyone dislike this? Great job Cardnals Organization, this is what football should be about. I've always liked Fitzgerald as a player, but this just makes me appreciate him more.
Go hawks!
+Tall Random Guy Im a rams fan and i've always had tons of respect of Larry Fitz the dude is just a pro on and off the field.
The people who disliked this video has no soul
Respect Seahawks fan! Respect. Love the comment
I am a Patriots fan, and I for once have to agree with a Hawks fan
that's why larry called legend.
much respect from japanese Cards fan.
Do you like Larry's nickname 'the Japanese fighting fish'
Wow. That's awesome. You're the first Cardinals/Suns fan I've met from Japan! I'm a Cardinals and Suns fan from Arizona. It doesn't matter what part of the world you're from, if you're a Cards/Suns fan you're family to me. 👌
Hopefully Kyler Murray and Deandre Hopkins lead the Cardinals to the Super Bowl next season, and Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton lead the Suns to NBA finals. 🙏
@Marc Baker For sure. It might be a better decade for AZ sports this time in the 2020s. 2010s were pretty bad. But things are looking up.
Kyler Murray isn't perfect yet. Still has a few issues to work on, notably keeping his cannon of an arm in check. Sometimes launching the ball at a million miles an hour isn't the best play. He seems to have at the very least made the 2nd year leap into being an elite QB like Mahomes and Jackson before him. He's just a top 5 nightmare player for defenses to go up against in the league. And with Hopkins, it's extremely difficult to stop both of them for long. And having a real defense and special teams finally makes me very happy with where the Cards are rn.
And the Suns showed in the NBA bubble the growth, confidence, and maturity I've been waiting for from that young team. They came focused, stayed focused, and won all 8 games. Coach Monty is the real deal, Devin Booker finally got to play meaningful basketball and excelled in it, and Bridges and Ayton really look like future NBA All-Defense candidates. Rubio is a great veteran leader, and his playstyle fits this roster so well. Cam Johnson is the perfect type of 3 and D role player every contender loves to have. etc... I'm excited to watch them play and grow more, the future just should be bright as the Sun.
@Marc Baker I hope so. Just praying nobody gets injured or anything like that -knock on wood-. Good luck to the Panthers as well. I hate to see players from any team get injured. Even rivals. I felt bad for the 49ers past few weeks with Kittle, Bosa, Jimmy G, and more getting injured. Not as satisfying to beat teams cause their key players are injured.
Larry Fitzgerald= excellent wide receiver, OUTSTANDING human being.
It’s crazy. He’s a top 5 receiver all time and a top 5 human
Those damn onions. Stop being such a perfect human, Larry.
that Makes me proud to be a cardinal fan
Same here
Amen to that my Cardinal Brother!
Cardinals fan here too
Ditto!
Larry is a real stand up guy, and whoever is behind this program is Heaven sent.
I like how genuine Fitzgerald is when he speaks to him, that's a real man right there dude
Matt McAllister I lol even how Larry asked him what he wants to be when he grows up, and the kids answer is even better
WHO TF IS CUTTING ONIONS IN HERE?
My heart, oh my God... I think I'm an Arizona Cardinals fan now...
Comedic Tragedy its not too bad when you got Players like Larry Fitz and Patrick Pete 😂
Larry: Are you sure you want to be that far away from your mom and dad?
Tennyson: It's just two hours!
Honestly, that may be one of the most pure and most adorable thing I have ever heard in my life.
I really hope this kid works hard to accomplish his dream. I would be kind of hilarious if he did eventually get drafted by the Cards to play football.
Thank you for posting this now, ESPN. We need some good vibes in AZ right now...
Watching kids going through something like this is so hard to watch... and I should know. Back in 2009, my little sister got leukemia. I’m glad that she survived.
Who ever disliked this is terrible
Such a lucky and blessed kid. He's been my favorite receiver since I was 5 man. I pray he makes it man
LF is a class act. Difficult story.. nice that they could link up. Best to the family.
Larry is something special. Never seizes to amaze me
I really appreciate this video on my feed today. Thank you Fitz! From a lifelong Seahawks fan, I really appreciate what you and the Cardinals did for that young man.
These always make me feel bad about myself I wish I could give him my health😢😢
Fitz is one of the all around best guys in the history of sports period. I'm in Grad school now and that dude has been playing since I was in middle school. Not once in all those years have you heard one bad thing about him. Much respect to him and the homie Tennyson.
This is amazing, this is why Fitz is my favorite football player of all time.
Larry one of the greatest players to never when a Superbowl also one of the most humble and loyal players ever honestly most player with his amazing skills and the sub par teams he has had to deal with would of left to a better team to win a ring but not Larry I'm nott a Cardinal fan but you card fans have such a great legend get that man's number retired
I always have liked Fitzgerald as an athlete but now I appreciate him even more.
How could u dislike ??
easy- the kid looks like mr egg head lmao
The only answer is that the dislikes were and accident
Some people dislike because they find the cancer part of the story sad
#LarryLegend not only is he one of the greatest players of all time but is one of the greatest men as well. Prolly why I have 3 fat heads of him in my room 😂. I was also lucky enough to be at the game where he moved into the number 3 spot for receiving yards, even though I live in Massachusetts lol 😃
Larry is a perfect example of NFL role model he does everything perfect with playing the game and he is even better off the field someone all kids should look up to instead of a jerk like Odell Beckham and Bryce Harper
Absolutely correct.
he is like the yzerman of the NFL respected by everyone
Larry is my favorite wide receiver he is a perfect role model
This is a great video but I’m sorry the Josh Rosen part made me die laughing
There is nothing that Fitz could say or do to make me love him any less. An amazing player on and off the field. What an excellent way to meet your favorite player!
Definitely
Fitz is an amazing player on the field, he's a better person off the field. RESPECT.
This is where I was born and raised. This is my football team. This is what I’m about. 10 years from now when you think WR, you know you’re thinking Larry. My man. What a blessing.
Fitz a great guy, God bless & protect him always.
The stuff that can make a grown man cry hopes you prayers go out to you little man you can beat this
Larry fizgerald is the best player ever and a nice back side lord have mercy
Lol he said women touch it in public
Very empowering to meet your favorite idol... ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻 hopefully he get drafted to the Cardinals in a couple of years!
Awesome job scoring the TD, Tennyson! I like the dance. Larry Fitzgerald is my favorite player, too.
Very awesome video and Tennyson is the biggest Cardinal fan in all of South Dakota!
Man I wish nothing but the best for these kids ... they didn’t ask to be here 🙏🏾🙏🏾 hope he be the strongest man in the world
Best NFL org there is.
Awesome person Larry
Larry Fitzgerald is a great person
Idk why but I cried through the whole thing... something about his adorable little face. God Bless him
Are u from georgia? u look familiar
These kids make my heart melt
Mine to. I worked with kids with autism for 5 years so these stories ALWAYS melt my heart much respect MR FITZGERALD
Brave kid ✊️
Fitz you da man! Awesome stuff
And that my friends is what kindness and a great heart looks like
Larry legend well done good heart
I hope his dreams come true of being a player for cardinals
So do I. What a great kid.
My favorite WR and NFL player, on my favorite team. Larry Fitzgerald is an amazing player, person and man, I've met him three times he is a source of inspiration to the world.
We got a fortnite lover awesome very touching story❤❤❤❤
Wow! Why the thumbs down? I could imagine going through this. Prays for you little guy. You're amazing Larry!!! Love you!!!
Guys like Larry make the nfl an amazing motivator for millions of kids. There are guys in the nfl promoting all kinds of bad crap, but guys like Larry and Russell Wilson make ya wanna be a better person
How the heck can 11 people NOT like this? Classy organization and classy WR. Great job!
Blessings. Fitz is the greatest man.
What a professional a beast on the field at the age he is, and a classy outgoing man off the field you the man Fitzgerald
Love me some Larry legend, class act👍🏽
Who can "thumbs down" that and look themselves in the eye. Shameful. Larry, you're a class act.
I’m super huge fan of da bears I’ll always love Larry true inspirational player
Larry Fitzgerald is not just a hall of fame wide receiver, he’s a hall of fame human being. He is truly awesome! I wish we had more people like him in this world. Make a wish is such an awesome thing. I can’t even imagine how scary it must be to be a parent and learn that your child has leukemia and might die. The love of your life, the one you put in so much care for is sick and might go. Personally, I’m not a parent, but knowing how much my parents love me I can’t even begin to think what that might be like.
Giving the opportunity for these kids to see their wish come true is amazing. At the national end of the day we are all friends. You may be a rams, Seahawks, or 49ers fan, and u may not like the cardinals or root for them, but tbh, I’m a bears fan, but if this was a packers playing doing this, I would forget about the rivalry and remember how strong the human connection of love is. I hope we can all remember that.
In the words of Denzel Washington, "My man."
The most humble player and person in the world love larry hall of famer respect #11
Seriously, who has anything actually bad to say about the guy? He is a class act all the way around, a model citizen. If the NFL is smart when he retires after this season they will bring him on for a lot of their PR work (they need all the help they can get).
Really though, how awesome for that kid. The Cards may suck ass this year, but they seems like a good organization.
Fitzgerald will always be one of the greats. Humble, generous, a class act, an amazing player. Hall of fame all the way. You do great things Larry.
What a G. He's amazing
Beautiful! Thanks @LarryFitzgerald!
Probably one of the nicest guys in the NFL. He’s always kept sight of where he came from and loves his mother very much.
If you dislike this, you don't have a heart.
“You know the last player to sit here, Josh Rosen. It’s a good chair.” Lol
you pro guys just don't know how much you mean to these kids. and you will be remembered for this. and all the things you do to inspire the future pros. larry , i tell you man , you are the real face of pro football so thanks for all you do taking time out of your busy schedule to help kids like this and to keep them going strong. hats off to you man
I agree totally. You won't find a better Role Model for children to follow
Larry is an all around great person whom everyone can look up to. This made my week
I am so proud of being a Cardinals fan I love what the organization did for Tennyson and Larry well he’s a great person in general the best if you’d asked me 🏈
I love that a kid living in SD is a cardinals fan. I live in Oregon and I'm a Cards fan!
Great story! Larry great guy!
Yo, this is nice and all...but that QB at 3:16 is SUSPECT. Great power but absolutely no accuracy. Cut before the end of camp, Mark my words.
Jabez Gill 😂😂😂😂😂
Larry Fitz best wide reciver of all time in my opinion
Doctor Doom great guy but definitely not the greatest receiver. Ever hear of Rice, T.O. or Moss?
D. Seaun L
Chris Paul talent wise moss was the best receiver to ever play
Chris Paul I agree, that’s why I said talent wise. Route running and blocking is something you have to work at to be great and Moss didn’t have the best work ethic.
Chris Paul Bob Hayes wasn’t 6’4” though
Larry is hands down one of the most genuine and humble men to ever play in the NFL. He’s the blueprint of how every man in the NFL should conduct themselves
Well he grew up in Minnesota, probably the best state where it comes to good hearted, caring, respectful people.
Whoever disliked this truly has no soul
Exactly
God bless them both always
Larry deserves a Superbowl......I hate the Cards but Fits is hard to not like lol
I hope Tennyson has a good recovery and im sure meetting his football hero Larry Fitzgerald will help. Larry has a heart of gold.
Dang it. Gets me everytime. The only thing ESPN does well are these.
Larry, great job buddy!
I love that guy ....GOD BLESS HIS SOUL
This was amazing! It shows you NFL players, have a heart as big as gold. Thank- You all for going out of your Way. My Prayer's are with all of you. A-men.👍🙏😇
These videos get me choked up every time ....damn!
He is such a blessing to everyone around him! God bless you, Larry, Tennyson, and the Cards! 💗
WHAT THIS STUFF COMING FROM MY EYE'S. LARRY HAS ALWAYS BEEN CLASS ACT.
I am an Arizona native and soooo honored and proud that we have a class act like Larry Fitzgerald to represent this amazing state 🏈🏈♥️♥️ Way to go Tennyson you look like a true pro, all heart♥️♥️♥️
this makes me so proud and thankful to be an Arizona Cardinals fan.
