Larry Fitzgerald represents the Arizona Cardinals in the Hall of Fame class connected to the 2026 Hall of Fame Game.
Fitzgerald spent all 17 of his NFL seasons with Arizona, making him the franchise’s defining modern-era receiver. The Cardinals selected him third overall in the 2004 NFL Draft, and he quickly became the centerpiece of their passing game.
The 2026 Hall of Fame class also includes Drew Brees, Luke Kuechly, Adam Vinatieri and Roger Craig. The Hall of Fame Game traditionally connects its participating teams with members of the incoming class; Arizona’s link is Fitzgerald, while Carolina’s connection is Kuechly.
Fitzgerald finished his career with 1,432 receptions, 17,492 receiving yards and 121 touchdowns. He was especially prominent during Arizona’s 2008 postseason run, when the Cardinals reached Super Bowl XLIII. Readers sometimes confuse the team connection with Fitzgerald’s college team, Pittsburgh, but this question asks for his NFL franchise: the Arizona Cardinals.
