5 players we wish spent time with the Steelers

Larry Fitzgerald

We loved Larry Fitzgerald when he played at Pitt. We would have loved him in the black and gold, too.

Larry Legend put his head down and worked. He rarely missed a game. He hardly dropped a pass thrown his way. He always handed the ball to a referee after a touchdown.

Of course, he wouldn’t gloat about it, but he personified the meaning of dependability.

It’s great for Arizona that it’s out to its best start since 2014. And it’s a shame that its most notable player isn’t around for it. When you consider his time in the desert, Fitz deserved better.

Fitzgerald spent 17 seasons with the Cardinals. They failed to attain a winning record in a dozen of them. They finished last in the NFC West more times than they finished first. For context, Jerry Rice, the only player to total more receptions and receiving yards than Fitzgerald, played for two decades. He only weathered three losing records.

Sure, Fitzgerald had stints alongside Kurt Warner and Carson Palmer. Just think about how he would have profited from just a few years of lining up opposite of prime Antonio Brown and pulling in passes from Ben Roethlisberger, though.
