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.

Fitzgerald's career was defined by consistency, character and clutch moments across 17 seasons, all with the Arizona Cardinals. He is arguably the best player in franchise history spanning back more than a century to St. Louis and Chicago. With 11 Pro Bowls, three All-Pro Team selections, and a 2016 Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, missing only eight games over his career, Fitzgerald was one of the easier first-ballot Hall of Famers in recent memory.
