Sure hands, and one unforgettable January

Larry Fitzgerald learned the game as a Vikings ball boy and grew into the most reliable pair of hands of his era, a seventeen-year, one-team Cardinal defined by consistency, toughness and class.

Madden climbed him from an 84 to a 99 in the 2010 edition, the reward for the 2008 postseason, when he caught 30 passes for 546 yards and seven touchdowns to drag Arizona to Super Bowl XLIII, one of the great playoff runs a receiver has ever had. He finished second all-time in both catches and yards, an eleven-time Pro Bowler and first-ballot Hall of Famer. His signature was not speed but the certainty that if the ball reached him, he caught it.

How to read these: Each row is the player’s rating in that year’s Madden, listed by the NFL season it covers (Madden NFL 2001 = the 2000 season). Madden sets its ratings before the season is played, so they reflect the previous season’s performance - a player’s breakout year tends to show up as a jump in the following year’s game.
Note: Some Madden releases tracked fewer attributes than others. Cells shown as - were not published by EA that year.
