Arizona Cardinals' Larry Fitzgerald talks training-camp drudgery

You can tell a lot about an athlete by their feet.

Take Larry Fitzgerald, for instance. At first blush, his feet look normal.

“Look at my toenails,” the Cardinals' longtime wide receiver said, pointing to each of his big toes. “I’m telling you, they both fall off every January. It’s like clockwork. Happens every year. I mean every year.

“See, this one’s just growing back in. But every year, they fall off, man.”

Such is life for a veteran receiver in the NFL, which is why Fitzgerald and others cut tiny little holes in the tips of their cleats.
