NFL legend Larry Fitzgerald has spent his entire professional playing career as a member of the Arizona Cardinals while the prolific pass catcher is now nearing the end of his time in the desert. However, Fitzgerald can still play with the best of them and will surely make an impact for the NFC West franchise in 2020-21 while this time receiving the opportunity to play alongside someone equally as talented as him in former Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.
Hopkins was infamously traded from the Texans to the Cardinals on Monday afternoon in exchange for former Arizona running back David Johnson. While the two teams also swapped some future NFL Draft picks, the Cardinals really got a steal as Arizona managed to land Hopkins, one of the best wide outs in the league today, for nothing more than pennies on the dollar.
As a result, the aforementioned Fitzgerald couldn't be happier to welcome his newest teammate to the Cardinals.

Previously spending his entire NFL playing career as a member of the Texans, Hopkins remains in the thick of his prime after initially breaking into the league as a collegiate standout from Clemson. Now officially a member of the Cardinals, Hopkins will attempt to fit right in en route to developing a rapport with soon-to-be second-year NFL quarterback and former Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray.
With a former No. 1 overall pick in Murray under center and the tandem of Hopkins and Fitzgerald along the outside, Arizona's NFC West division-mates, the Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks, should be ready to encounter quite a competitive Cardinals team in 2020-21.
