This weekend, Larry Fitzgerald is headed to the Hall of Fame. As a Cardinals fan, heās my favorite because of the kind of man he showed himself to be year after year.
A few things Iāve always admired about Larry:
⢠Humility. He never acted like he was bigger than the game.
⢠Character. No drama. No trash talk. No off-the-field nonsense. Just a true professional.
⢠Work ethic. Every game looked like he was giving everything he had.
⢠Loyalty. He couldāve left Arizona to chase a ring, but he stayed and he never quit on this city.
⢠Leadership. He led by example and earned the respect of teammates, coaches, opponents, and fans.
⢠Consistency. You always knew exactly what you were going to get from Larry.
When I think back, I remember him taking over the 2008 playoff run, the three-touchdown game against the Eagles that sent us to the Super Bowl, the long touchdown against the Steelers that had all of Arizona believing, and that unforgettable overtime catch-and-run against the Packers.
Those are incredible football memories.
But years from now, I donāt think thatās what Iāll remember most.
Iāll remember the way he carried himself.
For me, this is Larry Fitzgeraldās real legacy. One of the greatest players to ever wear an NFL uniform, but an even better example of humility, class, loyalty, and character.
Congratulations on an incredibly well-deserved Hall of Fame induction, Larry.
Arizona has been proud to call you one of our own.
