Revenge of the Birds
The Arizona Cardinals are represented on the NFL All Quarter Century Team.
Outrage!
That is the response at least from Arizona Cardinals fans and media when ESPN dropped their NFL All Quarter Century team, and while two players the Arizona Cardinals drafted, and two others who had short tenures with the team were included:
Alan Faneca, OG - Steelers (1998-2007), Jets (2008-09), Cardinals (2010)
One year with the Arizona Cardinals, but this dude was the best guard of the era.
Calais Campbell, DT - Cardinals (2008-16, 2025-present), Jaguars (2017-19), Ravens (2020-22), Falcons (2023), Dolphins (2024)
Campbell is back with the Cardinals, and was one of the best draft picks in team history.
J.J. Watt, DL - Texans (2011-20), Cardinals (2021-22)
Not much to say, maybe the best defensive player of the century.
Patrick Peterson, CB - Cardinals (2011-20), Vikings (2021-22), Steelers (2023)
Peterson was great in his prime, but obviously like many had issues at the end of his time in Arizona, but things seem to be patched up.
However, the one that fans seem to care about is the one that is not on the list, not on the practice squad (honorable mention) and that was Larry Fitzgerald.
So, there were eight receivers ranked above Fitz.

So, who would you remove?
