Career Stats: 263 games played (261 starts), 1,432 receptions, 17,492 yards, 121 TD

Throws are never dropped by Larry Fitzgerald. If it lands in his hands, it will be caught. Since 2004, Fitz has participated in 250 games with the Cardinals. In the 250 battles, the legend has been targeted 2,263 times. With only 29 career drops, Fitzgerald is so sure-handed that he has more tackles (39 total) than drops. Let that idea sink in. With age, Fitzgerald successfully recreated himself. The former third-round selection came into the league as an outside receiver who could flatten defenses. Once he approached 30 years old, he moved closer to the ball and developed into an adept short route runner. The most remarkable feat Fitz accomplished was setting the record for the most receptions (30), receiving yards (546), and receiving touchdowns (7) by a single player in a single postseason during the 2008 playoffs.
