1. Larry Fitzgerald - Was there ever any doubt?
Since being drafted in 2003, Fitz has spent
time re-writing record books -- both Cardinals
and NFL. He's the face of the franchise and a
top talent in the league, and at just 28 years
of age is looking at many more years of
greatness.

2. Danny White - Ask people to name their
favorite Sun Devils of all time, and you're
sure to hear Danny White's name. One of four
players to have his number retired, White led
ASU to three Fiesta Bowl victories and left the
school as the all-time leader in passing yards
and touchdowns.

3. Byron Scott - Byron Scott tallied 1,572
points over three seasons with the Sun Devils,
averaging 17.5 per game to go along with 4
rebounds and 3.1 assists. Scott was the Pac-10
Freshman of the Year in 1980.

4. Kevin Johnson - You may not remember it, but
K.J. wore number 11 for 28 games in 1988-89
after he was traded to the Suns from Cleveland.
It wasn't until the next season that he
switched to his more customary number 7. (AP

5. Wesley Person - Person played only 3 years in the Valley, but left his impression as one of the best pure shooters ever to wear the purple and orange. He ranks 6th in team history in three-pointers made and 5th in three-point shooting percentage. (AP Photo)

6. Kent Graham - Graham only posted a 5-9 record as a starter over two seasons with the Cardinals...let's face it, he was keeping the seat warm for Jake Plummer. But the Ohio State product did throw two td passes in an upset win over the Cowboys in 1997 that caused Cardinal fans to rip down the Sun Devil Stadium goalposts and carry them down Mill Avenue.

7. Daymond Langkow - Langkow is back for his second stint with the Coyotes, and now he's wearing number 22, but from 2001 to 2004, he lit the lamp 68 times while wearing number 11. (AP Photo)

8. Martin Hanzal - The 6-foot-5 Czech is in his 5th season in Phoenix, and he's still only 24. Langkow is coming off a career-high 16 goals last season and is a solid defensive forward. (AP Photo)

9. Augie Ojeda - A fan favorite over four seasons with the Diamondbacks, Ojeda showed great defensive prowess and hit .243 over 324 games. And he's the subject of the "Augie, Augie, Augie, Oy, Oy, Oy!" chant. (AP Photo)

10. Jeff Blake - Blake spent only one year in Arizona, and it was dismal as the Cardinals went 3-10 with him as a starter. But hey, Anquan Boldin's first six pro touchdowns were thrown by Blake, so that's worth something. (AP Photo)

11. Richie Sexson - After a blockbuster 2003 trade with the
Brewers, most thought Sexson would give the D-
backs a longterm power-hitting solution at
first base. He injured his shoulder and played
just 23 games in Arizona before signing with
Seattle. But he did hit a mammoth home run
estimated at 503 feet that broke lights in the
Bank One Ballpark scoreboard. (AP Photo)
