Larry Fitzgerald climbs to second in all-time receiving yards

Former Pitt star Larry Fitzgerald has had an illustrious career as a wide receiver with the Arizona Cardinals, and over the weekend, he reached a milestone that will help solidify his legacy.

After racking up 50 yards on six receptions in the Cardinals’ 24-16 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Fitzgerald has passed Terrell Owens on the NFL’s all-time receiving yards list, taking possession of the No. 2 spot. Over 15 seasons in the league, Fitzgerald has amassed 15,952 yards, topping Owens’ 16-season total of 15,934. He now ranks second only to Jerry Rice, who gained 22,895 yards over a 20-year career.
