Larry Fitzgerald Rookie Card On The Rise
In the world of football card collecting, it is imperative to find a way to separate the wheat from the chaff. We don’t want to acquire too many busts and rookie sensations that end up doing nothing. We want to avoid the Al Toon’s and instead stockpile the Jerry Rice’s of the football world. This article is meant to showcase why Larry Fitzgerald rookie cards should be considered in that latter list.
Larry Fitzgerald, junior is a highly motivated player for the Arizona Cardinals football team. And that is likely understating things. Other wide receivers that attend his off season training regimen are nearly always left with their mouths open and have a new appreciation for what it means to work hard in the off season. The Minnesota Viking’s Sidney Rice is one such player who did just that this past off season. If you look at his breakout season this past year you will realize that perhaps this off season program is working!
But back to Fitzgerald. Any wide receiver can work hard and still not have the ability to dominate NFL games. Let’s be honest here, the NFL (as with all other professional level sports) is filled with physical specimens and freaks of nature. They are truly that much more talented that everyone else. The beauty is that in addition to the near legendary work ethic you have the natural skills of an incredibly gifted individual. On top of that, measuring in at six feet three inches doesn’t hurt either!
There are many reasons to like the Fitzgerald rookie card. First and foremost has to be his impeccable stat sheet the first 6 seasons of his career. With targets that make Marvin Harrison stand up and take notice these stats seem to likely be the same or on the rise in the future. To think that only a few years ago people were wondering if his skills would translate to the pro game. I think he has silenced even his harshest critics and is steadfast in his approach to greatness. The Larry Fitgerald rookie card is one that is sure to rise in prominence in the foreseeable future.
