Long road to Pro Bowl
When he was a kid, Arizona Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald Jr. attended the Pro Bowl with his father.
"I remember going to practice, and getting autographs, trying to get guys to sign stuff," Fitzgerald Jr. said.
So last February, when he became a Pro Bowl receiver, Fitzgerald Jr. had one of those stirring moments.
"When I was signing kids' autographs, I was like, 'Man, this was me seven years ago.' So it kind of hit me," he recalled. "It was a lot of fun."
He realizes the Pro Bowl is out of the question this year, given his numbers and the three games he was sidelined. But now he's focused on another title: Super Bowl champion.
"That would sound a lot better," he said. "That's what we're all working for."
