Check out this great read on Larry Fitzgerald:
There's no question God blessed Fitzgerald with incredible physical gifts. And Fitzgerald was fortunate to have a father who could get him a job as a ball boy with the Minnesota Vikings, where he soaked up knowledge from greats like Cris Carter and Randy Moss.
But Fitzgerald is the pre-eminent receiver in the NFL today for one reason: He is driven to be the best wideout the game has ever seen.
"It's not always the case where you see a physically gifted player like he is have the mental fortitude to really want to work to be the best," coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "Some guys are so gifted they can show up and be pretty good players. Not Larry. That's not good enough for him."
Fitzgerald, 25, is uneasy with his newfound celebrity status. If he could, he'd go the entire season without doing an interview. But when you set NFL single-season playoff records for receptions (30), receiving yards (546) and touchdowns (7), and you're on the cover of the Madden 2010 video game, well, the attention is going to come.
