I went with Larry Fitzgerald for the third wide receiver spot over players like Fred Biletnikoff whose name graces the trophy given annually to the nation’s top receiver, Michigan’s Anthony Carter and Michael Crabtree who is one of two players (Justin Blackmon) to be a two-time Biletnikoff Award winner.

Fitzgerald played for the Pittsburgh Panthers from 2002-2003 and was a the 2003 Biletnikoff Award winner when he was fifth in the nation with 92 catches and led the nation with 1,672 yards and 22 touchdowns. Fitzgerald was a consensus All-American and the runner-up to Oklahoma quarterback Jason White for the Heisman.

Though he didn’t win the Heisman, Fitzgerald won the Walter Camp Player of the Year Award. Fitzgerald left Pitt with 161 catches for 2,677 yards and a school record 34 receiving touchdowns, including an NCAA record with 18 straight games with a touchdown. He is the Big East’s all-time leader in touchdowns and is seventh with 2,677 yards.
