Daily Norseman on Larry Fitzgerald
From the article
Larry Fitzgerald Reminisces with Cris Carter: From Vikings Ball Boy to Hall of Fame; 'I'm not naïve to the fact that without this experience, being a Viking for multiple years, being able to be around [Cris] and Randy and John Randle and Randall McDaniel and Chris Doleman, some of these legends that are immortalized in history forever, I don't know if I would've set my heights high enough to think that it was attainable for me to be in his position'
STACKED’s take
Fitzgerald's Hall of Fame career thrived despite QB carousel; credits Vikings mentors
Fitzgerald, who will be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a member of the Class of 2026, reflected on his journey from Vikings ball boy to Hall of Famer; he credited his time around Vikings legends like Cris Carter, Randy Moss, John Randle, Randall McDaniel, and Chris Doleman for setting his heights high enough to believe Hall of Fame enshrinement was attainable. His career with the Cardinals featured multiple QB carousel rides highlighted by four seasons of Kurt Warner (2005, 2007-09) and four with Carson Palmer (2013, 2015-17) as the team's leading passer, demonstrating his ability to produce at an elite level despite significant QB inconsistency.
