Wide Receiver Larry Fitzgerald

While the Cardinals offense are in the bottom five in points per game they have one constant, Larry Fitzgerald. Future hall of famer and all around good guy Larry Fitzgerald is still the same old Larry Fitzgerald. Every year people think he’s finally gonna take a step back or he’s contemplating retirement but nope he’s still a top tier receiver. He is third in the league in catches and eleventh in yards. Some of the greatest hands in the league the Cardinals are utilizing him in the slot and on the outside when needed because he can play anywhere.

Must Read: Arizona is a Litmus Test

Mike Smith will need to game plan against a fourteen year veteran which he probably never though he would have to do outside of a quarterback. Brent Grimes will have his hands full if he follows him but he might be on the outside covering one of the Browns. Larry may not have the speed but he can still jump over guys and make spectacular catches when needed. If you need proof look at his game winner against the 49ers. Larry Fitzgerald is going to make plays you just need to hope you can contain him.
