Cardinals see Chad Williams as Larry Fitzgerald's successor
The Arizona Cardinals envision rookie wide receiver Chad Williams as Larry Fitzgerald's eventual successor, offensive coordinator Harold Goodwin indicated.
Fitzgerald, John Brown, and Jaron Brown are all in contract years, so there will be playing time available for Williams in the near future. It's believed Fitzgerald will retire after 2017. "Knowing that Larry is going to one day walk away from the game, you talk about somebody that can carry the torch," Goodwin said. "(Williams) is the guy that everybody thinks can do that."
Among the 41 wide receivers with at least 100 targets this year, Fitzgerald earned the third-fewest Reception Net Expected Points (NEP) per target.
