Yeah, I was watching “a football life: Emmitt Smith” the other day and it had younger Larry on there explaining that he became the pro on and off the field that he became because of his 2 years with Emmitt Smith when Emmitt went to Arizona to wind down his career.
And you had Boldin on the other side. An elite humble guy and great teammate! Then Kurt Warner was like damn I better find whatever it was I had in the MVP season with the rams. And then mofo threw that halftime SB pick. I can't talk about it I'm a cards fan and I still can't get over it. I've cried twice after a football game. 1st time was in 8th grade. I was the teams QB and OLB. Our first game we were up 8-0 on the opponents. The other team drove down the field by running QB sweeps (away from my side mind you) and scored a TD. Time ran out and they were going for 2. Our league didn't have OT draws were draws. I KNEW FOR A FACT. They were going to run a sweep/stretch/ option away from me. I told my entire team they were going to do that. They scored the 2 pt conversion 😭😭. I couldn't believe it. Like bruhhh I told the whole fucking team what THEY WERE GOINg TO DO and my team let me down. I should've just ray lewised that shit and fully commit on a snap count lol. And the only other time was 1 year later when the cards lost the SB. My aunt was a huge Cardinals fan and she had lymphoma and she was going to die a week after the SB and I was watching it with her.
Larry Fitzgerald is widely considered by fans, coaches and peers to be one of the greatest receivers in NFL history. He was the heart and soul for the team that drafted him as the #3 overall pick. He played all 17 seasons with all with the Arizona Cardinals. He carried the Cardinals to their first ever Super Bow appearance. He is second in NFL career receiving yards with (17,492), second in career receptions with (1,432), and sixth in receiving touchdowns with (121). Salute to #11 Larry Fitzgerald!!!
How am I JUST now realizing he has a signature TD celebration...after nearly every amazing TD he will immediately underhand the ball to an official, no matter how excited he is or isn't 🤣
I remember one time after Larry caught a touchdown and spiked the ball.....he then apologized to the ref, teammates and then again to the tv announcer after the game.
Uh, how old are you? Gotta be less than 20. Because THE guy that deserved a ring and never got it was Dan Marino. You'll notice the Steelers didn't make THAT mistake a second time: when the University of Pitt QB was available in the draft, the Steelers grabbed him this time.
@@cynthiatravers8757 you could argue Dan sure but I personally believe Larry deserves it more than anyone else also what do the Steelers drafting picket have to do with this
@@cynthiatravers8757 Dan had his chance vs the 49ers in the super bowl and all the other times he failed in the playoffs. If we’re still bashing #32 overall picks today then Marino can get it too
He did his part in that super bowl run and in that super bowl. Remember that hustle he had on the harrison pick 6? And the guy was loyal to the cardinals of all teams. Just pure class.
@@cynthiatravers8757 Why are you so mad that someone believes Larry Fitzgerald deserves respect? Also calm down you're literally dissing a dude for "being young" because his favorite player isn't from the 80s and the guy could be 35 for all you know, chill dude
That 2008 Super Bowl was so epic. 2 Teams, one the favorite, the other and underdog slugging it out, and the legendary John Madden and Al Micheals commentating. It was a joy to watch.
I remember watching an NFL compilations that was like "rarest moments in NFL history" and there was a bunch of stuff like The Holy Roller or the OBJ one-handed catch but they also put a clip of Larry Fitzgerald dropping a pass, and I just had to laugh in astonishment. If your legacy is that you dropping a pass is one of the rarest things in NFL history you truly made it. Him in the Hall of Fame is a when, not an if.
Being in the Cardinals stadium and hearing the entire stadium (even the opposing fans would join in) roar "LARRY! LARRY! LARRY!" when he entered the stadium was a surreal experience. I don't think I'll ever hear the stadium's crowd roar louder for a player again.
The complete WR - could do everything at an exceptional level. Such a joy to watch. If Kurt Warner went to Arizona a few years earlier or if the Cards didn’t run prevent in the last drive of SB 43, Fitz would’ve had some rings by now. At least he’s set for Canton
@@anel313det you must have him confused with someone else. I hadn't counted specifically, but I'm confident that no less than 35% of his career TDs were of 25 yds or more. Did you watch this video? Sure ,it's highlights, but it's clear he had the ability to go up & get it. And obviously his arm & hand strength were stellar. He saved many INTs for all them bum QBs he suffered with.
@@anel313det although I agree w most, there's a few points - TOs hands were not even close to Fitz. As an eagle fan, I can arrest to that. And how did Tyreek Hill make your list? Not only is he far too young to be included , but he's a one trick pony. Hes lightning fast, sure. But he ain't going over the middle taking hits , running slants, etc. Moss & Jerry are immortal in my book. But there's one dude right with them in total yds and that's Fitz. The greatest star I've ever heard is his having more career tackles than dropped passes. That's just ridiculous.
As a Vikings fan I wish he came home and played for us. But I totally understand his loyalty and commitment to the team that drafted him. I really wish Larry got a ring.
As a Cards fan, he was fun to watch. As a Larry fan, I wish he would have played with a contender (like the Vikes) his last two years. Especially the one year we had rookie QB Rosen as our starter. How does our GM Steve Keim still have a job in the NFL? He's not qualified to be a water boy.
He also played with Kurt Warner (I know he wasn't in the 2010's, but we cant forget that) They played in arguably the greatest super bowl of all time, even though they lost.
One of my favorite receivers to ever play, wish he would’ve won a ring, but still in all, a hell of a career nonetheless, can’t wait to see him in Canton in about 5 or so years.
This man deserves a ring and so much more. One of those guys while he wasn't the undisputed best in the world hes a goat in everyone's heart because we knew what he could do. There's a nice spot in canton waiting on him.
Had season tickets to the cardinals during the height of the cards. Fitz will always be my favorite athlete to play in the nfl. Guy would just stun the stadium every play
Jerry Rice is #1, Larry is #1A. I'm so glad I grew up in an era of Larry - I remember when he got drafted and he immediately became my favorite receiver in the NFL. Helps he's the consummate sportsman and teammate too.
Best hands in Nfl history! This dude never really dropped a pass no matter how you threw it to him. He had more tackles than dropped passes! Amazing, incredible!! Its funny cause hes #2 in receptions and #2 in receiving yards in Nfl history, his behind Jerry Rice only, and his whole career he had wack ass QBs lol. Larry Fitzgerald is definitely a GOAT!! Top 3 receiver of all time! 💯
It shouldn’t be forgotten that Larry Fitzgerald is respected not “only” as a football player. Senator John McCain, a Senator, a War Hero and an internationally known and respected Statesman requested that Larry Fitzgerald speak at his funeral. Amid all the dignitaries, it was Larry that Senator McCain chose because he admired his character on and off the field.
Yall Did NOT Know Just How Good Prime Larry Was. He Never Gets Mentioned With The Greatest WR Of All Time Even Though He Has The Lowest Drop Rate Of All Time And Is Right Behind Jerry Rice In Many Receiving Records
My 2 favorite Receivers of all time happen to be the most standup, genuine people. Larry Fitzgerald and Andre Johnson the best to do it no doubt, neither of them had consistent QB play yet still produced despite it. Legends.
To me, Larry is the greatest WR of all-time simply because of his consistency even with the QB carousel he's had for his entire career. Jerry Rice may be at the top of damn near every WR statistic, but he had 2 of the best Quarterbacks In NFL History throwing to him. Larry had an aging Kurt Warner throwing to him, literally the only notable QB he's ever had. I'm so glad to experience the greatness in Fitzgerald. If any player deserved a SB ring, it's this guy. But at least he'll be wearing that golden jacket once that time comes.
Truly a delight to watch and follow his career... I knew he was gonna be an all time great from Pitt when he made that unbelievable catch he was special... a complete wr that did it all
Agree, but I'll bet he's not, just because of the logjam at WR for the HoF. All it will take is enough voters peeved that their WR didn't get picked to block Fitz a couple of times. But he'll get in eventually.
@@cynthiatravers8757 He's literally 2nd all time in receiving yards and receptions......He's going first ballot. Also had the best ever postseason by any WR.
@@cynthiatravers8757 You do realize he was selected to the 100th All time team along with Jerry and Randy. He is the greatest athlete in Arizona sports history. of course he is a first ballot
As a lifelong az sports fan there isn’t a single player I feel like we deserved less than Larry Fitzgerald. He left everything he had on the field. It was never about him, it was about the team. Not getting him a superbowl is an absolute tragedy.
Him and Moss both came so close. Hell Randy went 34-3 between The Vikings and the Pats and 1 of those losses was from the 18-1 Pats SB. The other 2 was from the 16-2 Vikings who lost because of the Gary Anderson 32yd miss in the Championship game and hadnt missed since the season prior and the lights out SB. 4 close SBs between them and no ring.
Larry Fitzgerald! A LEGEND! in our beautiful state 48 Az! This man contributed and invested in our only super bowl appearance! “ does he deserve a ring??” FUCK YEAH!! He’s known as Larry Legend and many super bowl winning receivers haven’t accomplished half his stats! If you want to say “ oh but they won the super bowl “ well Larry made it to the hall of fame like he deserves! Now…tell me about Scotty Miller being a hall of famer..? I thought so 😂
That Flea Flicker @7:20 was a thing of beauty with the backwards pass, Kurt Warner's effortless bomb 60 yards downfield to Fitzgerald's catch, I love it!!!!
I was his tour guide when ge got to our island, he was huge but most humble and educated person I have ever met ever. What an amazing person I didn't know who he was because we live in polynesia and don't know anything about american football.
Literally. Some of the best players to play in their sport all time both named Larry deserve the nickname Larry Legend. First ballot Hall of Fame here he comes.
Been an AZ Cardinals fan since the 1998 playoff run (PLUMMER!!!). Loyalty is my absolute Number 1 trait as a human being. Loyalty is everything. Adrian Wilson is my favorite football player of all-time, followed by Aeneas Williams, and Larry Fitzgerald. Those 3 are the greatest to ever play at their respective positions (Deion who?! Jerry who?!), and yet they stayed loyal and devoted to AZ. They could have requested a trade at anytime, but they wanted to stay in AZ. Yes, we absolutetly suck for all eternity, and our ownership is trash, but I will take what I can get.
Top 5 Favorite Receiver of All-time Wish he won a SB The Year where he was Virtually Unstoppable in that Postseason run That's Where he Got the Name Playoff Fitz if the Cardinals won the Superbowl He Probably Would've Been Superbowl MVP
I was a freshman in HS when he was on the cover of NCAA football so I always followed him because I've never seen anyone from Pitt recognized before being from Idaho and all. It goes Jerry Rice, Larry Legend, Tim Brown in my top 3.
As good as this highlight reel is, you're only seeing a fraction of his career. Honestly, you could go back to almost any week of any season and see something unbelievable. He was the Barry Sanders of WRs.
Watching him play for Pittsburgh in college made me a fan for life. He was the best receiver at the college level I've ever seen, and top 10, arguably top 5 all time in the NFL.
His ability to catch the ball in stride and not lose a step was so lethal. Couple that with his ability to catch a toughly contested ball and he was lights out against the defense.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Laying on my bed super bored. Searched “Larry bird highlights” on RUclips and now I’m here. I’m from MN and heard he’s Minnesotan. That’s fricking awesome.
As good as he was in Arizona, I first saw him when he was in college at Pittsburgh because I'm a huge Miami Hurricanes fan and I had no doubts he'd be a star, he used to just grab everything. He was amazing, maybe the best receiver in college football ever. Him and Randy Moss were the best at going up and grabbing the ball over everybody.
There’s no wonder that he’s been given the same nickname as Larry Bird, “Larry Legend”. This guy has had a fantastic career and has the skills as Randy Moss
Not to undermine the accomplishments of Jerry Rice, but if Larry Fitzgerald had the types of teams and quarterbacks that Jerry had, we'd be talking about Fitz as the greatest WR ever 🐐
Completely agree and it can't be argued. He's caught a pass from the most QBs in NFL history at 23. Second most of all time is actually hopkins at like 13 I think. Larry might have played for the same team his entire career but he proved he would have succeeded in any situation
It’s sad though the Cards didn’t win that game. It was winnable but the team let it slip through their fingers. Unfortunately, I think that game was the team’s ceiling. I don’t ever see them getting that close to a title again
Remember watching a 49ers game in like 2004 and dude made one of the best catches I've ever seen.... and started thinking Darn it we gonna play this guy for the next 15 years....
When Fitz has more tackles than drops, best hands is an understatement.
Dude I was gonna say that
@@StrangeTamer178 Best statistic in NFL history
Lol wat? That’s awmazing
@@chrisyentastic379 when I first I heard that the first thing I thought was bs but nah it’s actually true 😂😂
Speaks about his qbs! Y is he making tackles?
I’m not sure if anyone in team sports deserves a ring more than Larry Fitzgerald. Nothing but respect.
melo maybe
Larry might have EARNED it, but the rest of the players on his teams didn't play like Larry.
Moss
@@juangringo3906 Moss was never a Cardinal bruh…
@@Chaz-777 Well no sh*t. Smh

Amen brother. Tillman turned down a fairly big contract from the Rams, but he turned them down out of loyalty to AZ.

As good as this highlight reel is, you're only seeing a fraction of his career. Honestly, you could go back to almost any week of any season and see something unbelievable. He was the Barry Sanders of WRs.
One of my favorite players of all time. A true Cardinals OG.
Hall of Fame first ballot. Love Larry.
Without a doubt he's going straight in on the first try
LARRY LENGEND LETS GOOOOOO
Great video shoutout whoever made this fr!!!
Watching him play for Pittsburgh in college made me a fan for life. He was the best receiver at the college level I've ever seen, and top 10, arguably top 5 all time in the NFL.
Will forever be my goat. The single reason why I’m a cardinals and football fan
His 2008 season was impressive. That's when I started watching football and it was a pleasure to watch this man ball out
truly believe 2008 larry fitzgerald is the best a receiver could ever play especially in the playoffs
This man could catch anything 😅
Best hands. Best blocking WR ever, too.
The man had more tackles then drops and still doesn't have a ring. Real legend
His ability to catch the ball in stride and not lose a step was so lethal. Couple that with his ability to catch a toughly contested ball and he was lights out against the defense.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Laying on my bed super bored. Searched “Larry bird highlights” on RUclips and now I’m here. I’m from MN and heard he’s Minnesotan. That’s fricking awesome.
That Superbowl TD still gives me chills . Favorite player all time
As good as he was in Arizona, I first saw him when he was in college at Pittsburgh because I'm a huge Miami Hurricanes fan and I had no doubts he'd be a star, he used to just grab everything. He was amazing, maybe the best receiver in college football ever. Him and Randy Moss were the best at going up and grabbing the ball over everybody.
As a packers fan that 2015 playoff game hurt so bad but damn fitz is an all time timer
There’s no wonder that he’s been given the same nickname as Larry Bird, “Larry Legend”. This guy has had a fantastic career and has the skills as Randy Moss
Not as a deep threat. He was a reliable guy to pass to like Moss but not the same deep threat skills
He'll always be Fitz to me. Because we're both Irish.
@@aaronbotvinik7091 After what Larry did in 08 he was definitely on the same level with Moss as a deep threat.
@aaronbotvinik7091 did you watch the video?? He was a deapthreat most of his career. One of the best 50/50 recievers ever.
Larry "Legend" Fitzgerald !!! He is the BEST !!!
There will never be a better Cardinals player!
See You In CANTON LARRY LEGEND 🐐
Not to undermine the accomplishments of Jerry Rice, but if Larry Fitzgerald had the types of teams and quarterbacks that Jerry had, we'd be talking about Fitz as the greatest WR ever 🐐
Completely agree and it can't be argued. He's caught a pass from the most QBs in NFL history at 23. Second most of all time is actually hopkins at like 13 I think. Larry might have played for the same team his entire career but he proved he would have succeeded in any situation
The Goat! The man literally caught everything besides 23 passes in 16 years and he’s 2nd all time in receptions and yards
The best to ever do it. I became a Cardinals fan because of his 08 run and I've stayed ever since. The teams not the same without him
It’s sad though the Cards didn’t win that game.
It was winnable but the team let it slip through their fingers.
Unfortunately, I think that game was the team’s ceiling.
I don’t ever see them getting that close to a title again
That 2011 dive and catch against Seattle, he had broken ribs and was coughing blood. He literally willed us to a win
Also the catch at 12:13 is the greatest catch in NFL history and is the reason why Larry is the greatest ever
He was so graceful to watch.
Larry doesn’t need a ring to be seen as a legend in my eyes 🙏🏼
Larry Fitzgerald, Julio Jones, and Antonio Brown, all for very different reason are my favorite receivers of all time!
Wish Larry would have left after kurt warner, definitely could have gotten a ring with that talent.
Remember watching a 49ers game in like 2004 and dude made one of the best catches I've ever seen.... and started thinking Darn it we gonna play this guy for the next 15 years....
