For six straight seasons, the Arizona Cardinals’ starting wide receiver duo could not be touched. The combination of Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin terrorized NFL secondaries throughout the 2000’s. But as with most good things, it couldn’t last forever.
Boldin arrived on the scene first. A sub-par 40-yard dash caused the Florida State product to be drafted later than he should’ve in 2003. The Cardinals nabbed him in the second round with the 54th overall pick, a bargain to say the least.
Fitzgerald endured no such tumble in the 2004 Draft. After starring at the University of Pittsburgh, Arizona selected the 6’3″, 220-pounder with the third-overall pick.
