Larry Darnell Fitzgerald, Jr. (born August 31,
1983 in Minneapolis, Minnesota) is an American
football wide receiver currently playing for the
Arizona Cardinals. As a youth, he worked as a
ball boy for the Minnesota Vikings, and during
that time, was mentored by Randy Moss and Cris
Carter. He wears jersey number 11.

He attended the University of Pittsburgh and
became a star, widely considered one of the
greatest players at his position in the history of
the college game. After just his sophomore year,
Fitzgerald garnered the 2003 Walter Camp Player of
the Year Award (for the best player in college
football), the 2003 Biletnikoff Award (for the
best wide receiver in college football), and 2003
Columbus Touchdown Club Player of the Year was a
unanimous 2003 All-America selection.
Additionally, he was 2003 runner-up for the
prestigious Heisman Trophy, for the most
outstanding player in college football; Oklahoma's
Jason White won that award by a relatively slim
margin. In just 26 games with the Panthers,
Fitzgerald hauled in 161 passes for 2,677 yards
(16.6 avg.) and 34 touchdowns. Only Antonio Bryant
(173, 1999-2001) and Latef Grim (178, 1998-2000)
had more receptions in a career at Pittsburgh. His
2,677 yards rank behind Grim (2,680), Dietrich
Jells (3,003, 1991-95) and Bryant (3,061). His 34
scoring grabs broke the old school all-time record
of 30 by Bryant. Fitzgerald also holds an NCAA
Record with at least one touchdown catch in
sixteen straight games. He was the first player in
school history with back-to-back 1,000-yard
seasons receiving, and his 14 games with at least
100 yards receiving broke the previous Panthers
all-time record of 13, set by Bryant. He wore the
jersey number "1."

He left college early and was drafted 3rd overall
in the 2004 NFL Draft, by the Arizona Cardinals.
