Larry Fitzgerald's hands are the stuff of legend.

His ability to catch most anything thrown his way is well documented, and even commercialized by a popular breakfast food chain.

Fitzgerald is coming off a season that saw him record 80 catches for 1,411 yards and eight touchdowns -- a down year, compared to others he's produced -- but still, one worth of a Pro Bowl spot.

ProFootballFocus released its list of players with the fewest drops in the NFL, and the Cards' star came in eighth with just three.

Fitzgerald trails Golden Tate, Dez Bryant, Malcolm Floyd, Marques Colston, Reggie Wayne, Jordy Nelson and Jabar Gaffney.

According to the site, Fitzgerald caught 80 of 83 catchable balls thrown his way, with a drop rate of just 3.61. It is noted that Fitz has finished in the top eight every year but 2009, where he finished 12th, with consistency that is unmatched by any other wideout.

    Fitz
    I'd be willing to bet Fitz has caught more "uncatchable" balls then balls he's dropped deemed to be "catchable". Did that make any sense? Sounded like Rumsfeld's known and unknowns speech.

    that's so true, how many of fitz's 80 catches were quazi-impossible for any of the others to catch (if they got the chance of course)...he is not human. sent from the future i'm telling you.

    Wondering the same thing...
    Maybe ProFootballFocus doesn't use the same criteria as the NFL, because he officially only had one drop.
