Deep into the season, the Cardinals' strength-and-conditioning coach still demands that his players pay the price in the weight room.
Since beginning Pee Wee at age 10, Fitzgerald has blown away spectators not just with his skills but his classy attitude as well.
If Fitzgerald is not the best receiver in the league, he certainly has to be considered the most motivated and imaginative.

A solid collegiate career led the Cardinals to draft Larry #3 overall. Living up to past performance, Larry grabbed 58 passes for 8 TDs as a rookie in 2004 and led the NFL in receptions in 2005, for his first Pro Bowl berth. He finished 2006 with 69 receptions solidifying himself as one of the most exciting playmakers in the league.
