Budda Baker is one of Larry Fitzgerald’s favorite players to watch in NFL

Arizona Cardinals fans have not gotten any formal announcement from former wide receiver legend Larry Fitzgerald about retirement from the NFL. While he is no longer playing, he still roots for the only team he ever played for.

He also loves watching one player on the Cardinals in particular — safety Budda Baker.

Fitzgerald tweeted how fun his Sundays are now being able to watch his favorite team. He enjoys being a fan and one player — safety Budda Baker — is one of his favorites to watch.

Baker was flattered and Fitzgerald took it even further, responding to the four-time Pro Bowler that he uses Baker as an example for his own children to follow.

Baker is an exciting player to watch. No one plays harder or faster.

While Baker often does not get a ton of love from analytical sites for player rankings, we can see why he gets so much respect around the league. When one of the all-time greats says watching him play is something we should do, then you pay attention.
