NFL legend at WR said Falcons’ Julio Jones is ‘the best he’s ever seen’

When he retires, Larry Fitzgerald will be a first ballot Hall of Famer.

The former No. 3 overall pick of the 2004 NFL Draft from the University of Pittsburgh has turned in a remarkable 15-year career at wide receiver. He has seen great players come and go, he almost captured a Super Bowl in the 2008 season, and he was an 11-time Pro Bowl selection.

Fitzgerald spent his entire career with the Arizona Cardinals and despite the talents he has been around and watched, he could only name one as the best. Prior to kickoff in last week’s game versus the Atlanta Falcons, Fitzgerald was talking to rookie quarterback – Kyler Murray – in pregame warmups.
