He was drafted by the Cardinals third overall in the 2004 NFL Draft. He played college football at Pittsburgh, where he earned unanimous All-American honors.
Fitzgerald has been selected for the Pro Bowl ten times, and was named First-team All-Pro in 2008 and Second-team All-Pro twice in 2009 and 2011. As of 2016, he is third all-time in receptions, ninth in receiving yards (leading all active players in those two categories), and eighth in receiving touchdowns.
Larry Fitzgerald attended the Academy of Holy Angels during his teenage years. Fitzgerald attended the University of Pittsburgh, where he played for the Pittsburgh Panthers football team under Head Football Coach Walt Harris. He was widely considered one of the best wide receivers in college football from 2002 to 2003. After his sophomore season, Fitzgerald was recognized as the best player in the NCAA with the 2003 Walter Camp Award and the Touchdown Club of Columbus's Chic Harley Award, and as the best wide receiver in college football with the 2003 Biletnikoff Award and the Touchdown Club's Paul Warfield Award. He was also a unanimous 2003 All-America selection and a runner-up for the prestigious Heisman Trophy, given to the most outstanding player in college football; Oklahoma's Jason White won that award by a relatively slim margin.
