04. Larry Fitzgerald (Arizona Cardinals)

A lot of people may be upset that Terrell Owens and Randy Moss didn’t make this list. Facts are facts though. Larry Fitzgerald is now the second-most prolific wide receiver of all-time, surpassing both of those men in total yards. He also didn’t have near the good fortune in terms of quality quarterbacks throwing to him most of his career. He had Kurt Warner for less than three seasons and then Carson Palmer for a few years.

Moss had Randall Cunningham, Daunte Culpepper (the good version) and Tom Brady. Owens had Steve Young, Donovan McNabb, and Tony Romo. Fitzgerald has unquestionably done more with less in his career. What truly sets him apart though is how brilliant he’s been in the playoffs. No receiver has dominated the postseason as he has with 942 yards and 10 touchdowns in just nine January and February games. That’s absurd.

By comparison, Moss has 977 yards and 10 touchdowns in 15 games. Fitzgerald has done everything necessary to win a championship including scoring the go-ahead touchdown in the 4th quarter of a Super Bowl. It just wasn’t meant to be.
