Larry Fitzgerald Entering Hall of Fame as Cardinals Icon After 17 Years of Pass-Catching Excellence

Fitzgerald enters the Pro Football Hall of Fame after 17 seasons, finishing with 17,492 receiving yards and 1,432 catches, both second in NFL history.

  • On Saturday, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, capping a stellar 17-year career with the franchise.
  • Standing 6-foot-3 and 218 pounds, Fitzgerald accumulated 17,492 receiving yards and 1,432 catches, ranking second in NFL history behind Jerry Rice while his 121 touchdowns place him sixth all-time.
  • During the 2008 postseason, he recorded 30 catches for 546 yards and seven touchdowns, an NFL record; the run culminated in a go-ahead touchdown in the Super Bowl against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
  • Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill highlighted an extraordinary stat: Fitzgerald recorded 41 career tackles compared to 29 dropped passes despite playing with 22 different quarterbacks over 17 years.
  • After quietly ending his career following the 2020 season without a formal announcement, Fitzgerald's Hall of Fame induction this weekend cements his legacy as one of the greatest receivers in league history.
