With a total of 11 Pro Bowl appearances and a slew of awards, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald has had a productive career in the National Football League. In addition to these, he was also selected as one of the NFL's 10 greatest receivers this year. When a sportsperson of such prestige visits a store, celebrations are bound to erupt. Erupt they did at the Dick's Sporting Goods outlet at the Scottsdale Fashion Square in Arizona just before Christmas Eve.

"Being able to bring my son, Devin, and my younger son, Apollo, bringing them here and showing them exactly what my mother showed us, now I don’t even have to push them to come. They’re like, ‘Dad, are we going to this event this year?' They want to do it. They see that’s it’s important, and that’s what it’s really about is passing it down to the next generation. That’s how giving starts.”

Larry Fitzgerald and the Arizona Cardinals will face off against the LA Rams in their Week 17 matchup on Sunday. There has been speculation regarding Larry Fitzgerald's future in the NFL in recent weeks. While a move to any other team in the NFL has not been mooted, there have been rumours that the Arizona Cardinals wide receiver could choose to hang up his boots after the end of the season. With the Arizona Cardinals failing to make it through to the playoffs, the game against the LA Rams could very well be the last time NFL fans see Larry Fitzgerald sporting the Cardinals jersey on the field.
