When Larry Fitzgerald scored on a shovel pass to give the Arizona Cardinals a 26-20 win over the Green Bay Packers Saturday night, a man in a blue suit joined the mob around him as he celebrated the game-winning touchdown.
On social media, there was some mystery as to who the man in the blue suit was. Was it a random fan that somehow got on the field to embrace Fitz? A family member perhaps?
As it turns out, it was pretty close to that. Cardinals Ring of Honor member Adrian Wilson was the man in the blue suit.

Fitzgerald was asked after the game about who it was in the blue suit.
“Oh, A-Dub,” Fitzgerald said. “Me and Dub played for 10 years, so that’s like a brother to me. He was excited for me, and I love Dub.”
It’s safe to say that there weren’t any Cardinals fans that objected to a special moment between two all-time greats.
