Larry Fitzgerald Moves Up to 3rd on All-Time Receptions List

During Sunday's 31-23 victory over the Washington Redskins, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald recorded 10 catches for 78 yards.

The outing moved him past Hall of Famers Cris Carter and Marvin Harrison into third place on the NFL's all-time receptions list, per ESPN Stats & Info.

Fitzgerald now owns 1,106 career receptions and sits four clear of Harrison (1,102). His next target on the list is Tony Gonzalez, but he remains 219 catches behind the all-time receptions leader among tight ends.

Fitzgerald's efforts on Sunday also moved him into 10th place on the career receiving yards list, per Pro-Football-Reference.com. He supplanted Andre Johnson (14,185) during Sunday's game and now sits 99 yards short of Reggie Wayne for ninth.

Arizona has struggled on the whole this season, going just 5-6-1 through 12 contests. The Cardinals finally showed some signs of life Sunday against Washington after losing three of their previous four games.

However, the team finishes its season with three road games in the final four weeks.

Fitzgerald remains a centerpiece of the Cardinals offense despite turning 33 in August. The veteran pass-catcher has transitioned into more of a slot receiver role in the past few seasons, but the switch has paid big dividends.

After three straight seasons with fewer than 1,000 receiving yards, Fitzgerald posted 1,215 yards, nine touchdowns and a career-high 109 catches in 2015. He's on pace to nearly match the yardage and reception output this season but will likely see a slight decline in the number of touchdowns.

Although Fitzgerald may be closing in on the end of his career, he's shown no signs of slowing down. When he finally does hang up the cleats, it's a sure bet he will join some of the names he's passing in the record books in Canton, Ohio.
