Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald is headed back to the Super Bowl

Who says you need to play on a winning team to make it to the Super Bowl?

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald is heading back to the big game after a four-year absence, only this time he’s trading in his jersey and spikes for a suit and microphone.

Fitzgerald, who in 2012 earned a trip back to the Pro Bowl for a seventh time with 71 catches for 798 yards, will serve as a contributing analyst for CBS leading up to Super Bowl XLVII. Joining Fitzgerald will be Washington Redskins linebacker London Fletcher and Pro Football Hall of Famer Rod Woodson.

If Fitzgerald’s appearance in the Big Easy is anything like his prior Super Bowl performance, CBS and its viewers will have little to complain about.

In the Cardinals’ Super Bowl XLIII loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Fitzgerald had seven catches for 127 yards and two touchdowns.
