he came into the league in 2004.... the list is the 2000s (which is 2000-2009). The fact that he didnt play for 4 years (00-03) justifies his ranking because he is the only person on this list that can also make the next list as well.. the top 10 receivers of the 2010s.
I'm a fan of Fitzgerald, but, I do have to say that Chad Johnson did play in one of the toughest divisions in football. He was one of the best receivers during this span. Career wise, yeah Fitz got him but Chad was great as well.
ok NFL Films listen up... Hines Ward and Chad Johnson were very good receivers don't get me wrong I totally agree with you guys on the fact that they were very good... for two TOTALLY different reasons btw but whatever. ...but the fact that you put both of those guys AHEAD of Larry Fitzgerald is fucking mind boggling!!! Not many people at all, less then a handful, could just completely take over a game like Fitzgerald could! Hines Ward was more of a possession receiver n would mostly get open due to matchup of where he was placed on the field; not ALL the time but mostly yes...n as for Chad Johnson/Chad Ochocinco (whatever he wants to be called) fizzled out rather quickly. I remember him having some good years on Cincinnati but clearly not having the longevity that Fitzgerald STILL has till this day. I didn't want to take the easy way out but it is the best argument for my case... the numbers!!! Fitzgerald's numbers DOMINATE both Ward's n Johnson's!!! so yeah, Fitzgerald should DEF be above those two guys n possibly above some of these other guys too!

This list lost all credibility with LF being 8. My first ever dislike on youtube ever. First ballot HOFer. He should be ahead of Chad Johnson, Hines Ward and right behind TO. in the top 5. Not to mention even at his age now, he's still putting up good numbers. Great deep threat, route runner, run after the catch and a very underrated blocker. This is soooooo disrespectful and the NFL should be ashamed of themselves.
Guys, guys, guys. This list is of the 2000s. The 2000's. Larry Fitzgerald came in the league in 2004, and only posted four 1000-yard seasons during the 2000's. #8 is justifiable.
He is a top notch wide receiver. But I know some jackass sportswriter is gonna try to downplay his accomplishments by saying that, "he is not a great player. Why? He never won a super bowl. Therefore, he is automatically garbage". It bugs me when people try to tarnish what a great player's career by bringing up his lack of rings.
I'm a vikings fan and I love fitz. granted there is some history there (he grew up in minny, was a fan and ballboy for the vikings) so maybe I am biased too. plus he beat the packers in the playoffs in spectacular fashion.
If Fitzgerald had played on the Colts or Patriots his whole career he'd be #1 or 2 on this list. Hes been overlooked because of the team he's on. I'd take him over Marvin Harrison all day every day.
To be fair Fitz was drafted in 2004. This is a list based solely on the 2000s, and given the fact that he only has 6 years compared to almost everyone else’s 9 to 10 years
Redskins fan but Fitz is my favorite WR of all-time. I feel if the Cards won the Super Bowl after his historic playoff run in '08, he would probably get more recognition as one of the best ever. Either way, the ULTIMATE professional, first ballot HOFer, and better than #8 on this list.
Definitely. He’s only lower because it’s the 2000s and Larry’s prime was like the mid 2000s to mid 2010s so he’ll get snubbed a little for both of those all decade teams probably. Probably a top 10-15 wr all time. I think cardinals fans think he is better than he is, which what he is is a first ballot HOFer and all time great but not a top 5 wr ever which is what seems to be the perception.
Fitz should be higher than 8 and for damn sure be higher than chad Johnson and steve smith and maybe hines ward. if the cardinals won the superbowl in 08, he would have been the MVP
Max Hall n Ryan Lindley never started for the Cardinals in week 1 of any season like they just said around the 1:20 mark... sadly John Skelton did start the season for my Cardinals at qb once or twice. imagine what Fitzy would've done if he had both Warner n Palmer for his entire career? words can't even describe what he could've done!
#10 Steve Smith #9 Hines Ward #8 Tory Holt #7 Anquan Boldin #6 Reggie Wayne #5 Marvin Harrison #4 Chad Johnson #3 Terrell Owens #2 Larry Fitzgerald #1 Randy Moss
0:55 ... that's gtta be from Fitzy's rookie year bc I think they changed the uniforms from that to what they wear now after his rookie season but gODdamn look how young he looks? What?...you can't tell how young he looks? Well, just look at his dreads at the 0:55 second stamp n look at them today you'll be able to tell right away! lol
Yo Dominic Cruz talking about Larry?? Love both those guys. Also Larry is number 1. The only time he had a good quarterback we made it to the super bowl and he was the best player of the postseason
This makes no sense easily top 5 of the 2000’s no debate. He has some of the best hands of all time. Top 3 in my opinion should be 1. Randy Moss 2. Terrell Owens 3. Larry Fitzgerald
Marvin Harrison was always quite he never celebrate or talked to the media. But he is number 1. Maybe it's because Larry played longer in the 2010's but he should've been listed a bit higher.
QBs Fitzgerald played with in the 2000s while Marvin Harrison had Peyton Manning. Matt Leinart, Jeff Blake (?), McCown, and then Kurt Warner for 3 years.... If Fitzgerald and Moss were both on the Patriots in 2007, it would have been illegal
#1: Marvin Harrison #2: Anquan Boldin #3: Larry Fitzgerald #4: Hines Ward #5: Randy Moss #6: Reggie Wayne #7: Calvin Johnson #8: Terrell Owens #9: Torry Holt #10: Steve Smith, Jr. Honorable Mentions: Chad Johnson Issac Bruce Julio Jones Jimmy Smith, Jr.
@Sol Loser putting Anquan Boldin 2nd and Hines Ward 4th while Moss is 5th and TO is 8th is criminal. Most ppl would put them top 5 ALL TIME. You put Julio as an HM when Julio never played a game in the 2000s 😭

Along with all of the other comments, this is true robbery. Fitz #8?!?! Please tell me who is better in the 2000’s .... yah top 3. This man can go down as the goat. For the pure fact he’s had a qb for maybe 2 seasons of his entire career and will be #2 receiving yards and receptions all time. Rice had a HOF qb the entire time almost.
This is absurdly low. Fitz should probably be #2, as he had both consistently elite production & an insane peak, whereas Moss & TO only check one of those boxes each.
The fact that Chad Johnson, Torrey Holt, Steve Smith and Terrell Owens makes me sick. Fitzgerald is top 5 receiver of the 2000s and top 5 receiver all time!
The people at NFL Films are doing angel dust.. ..Fitz is at least in the top 5 of receivers of the 2000s.....OchoCinco and Hines Ward couldn't hold Fitz's jock string.
He should've been higher he should've been 5 and Ward should've been 6! What he did in that 08 season is unforgettable, I'll never forget those 2 back to back TDs he scored against my Steelers in SB 43 on back to back drives that nearly won them that SB! And after our defense had shut him down for nearly that entire game too!
His first TD in the championship game, 3 Eagles players had a shot to stop him and could not. That was the type of tone setting play, though it isnt the one people show most of that postseason, in that championship game. You were not going to beat Larry.
Larry Fitzgerald at no. 8 is a joke. Guy is a legend. 2nd all time among WRs in receptions and receiving yards and he's had to play with bad QB play the vast majority of his career. So it only pertains to the 2000s, I think that's a poor excuse considering he established himself as an elite WR in the 2000s
Receivers better than him all time Jerry Rice Randy Moss Marvin harrison Terrel owens maybe chad johnson Julio Jones Calvin Johnson maybe deandre hopkins maybe even michael irvin

Reminds me when they put Antonio gates as the 9th best right end when he has more TDS than any other tight end. These people don’t know what they’re doin
"Not playing the game. Just getting paid." I know, I know this maybe sounding butthurt, but that make no sense the work is there, and there. Sport doesn't need to come to open their mouths. Quiet guys can be just as good as trash talkers.
Larry could have made a lot more money on other teams but he stayed on the cards he does not care about the money he is the most genuine player I’ve ever seen
Aight so Marvin Harrison is ranked one even though he was quiet. Chad Johnson is ranked #7 because he wasn't. T.O. was ranked #3 for his "antics". Larry is ranked #8 because he wasn't a show-off. What are they even ranking?
the fact that chad johnson is higher completely solidifies the true fact that no one at NFL knows what the hell they are doing.
he came into the league in 2004.... the list is the 2000s (which is 2000-2009). The fact that he didnt play for 4 years (00-03) justifies his ranking because he is the only person on this list that can also make the next list as well.. the top 10 receivers of the 2010s.
