WATCH: Larry Fitzgerald gets his gold jacket
Larry Fitzgerald's Hall of Fame weekend has one big event left. Now he has his gold jacket.
Legendary Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald received his Hall of Fame gold jacket on Friday night, as captured in a video shared by Arizona Sports' Tyler Drake. The moment included Cris Carter and his family, creating an emotional scene. The Hall of Fame officially acknowledged Fitzgerald as a member during his enshrinement speech on Saturday.
Fitzgerald selected Carter, a Hall of Fame receiver from Minnesota, to place the gold jacket on him. Fitzgerald's childhood in Minnesota and his connection to the Vikings via Carter added significance to the gesture. The induction ceremony was broken to Fitzgerald by former Hall of Fame Vikings receiver Randy Moss. Despite Fitzgerald's nomination being championed by the Cardinals, his connection to the team was not explicitly part of the enshrinement.
Fitzgerald revealed that Hall of Fame Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner, ranked second on his list, was nearly present. As Fitzgerald joins the Hall of Fame, he awaits the presentation of his gold jacket and the unveiling of his bronze bust, concluding a full-circle moment for both Larry and Carter.
