Though the Arizona Cardinals haven't exactly been synonymous with success since arriving to the Valley, they've still managed to produce top tier talent that have been featured on some pretty fun teams, too. 

Notable names on both a local and national level have littered the roster throughout the years, but when it comes to duos - there's one tandem that sticks out above the rest. 

Cardinals fans had the privilege of enjoying one of the best wide receiver duos of all time in Larry Fitzgerald/Anquan Boldin. 

The 33rd Team recently ranked them as the No. 4 duo of all-time behind Randy Moss/Wes Welker, Jerry Rice/John Taylor and Randy Moss/Cris Carter. 

Here's Elliot Kalb's write-up on the two Cardinals receivers:

"Please don’t forget about this duo. The great Larry Fitzgerald played with Arizona from 2004-2020. His best years were the six when he teamed with Anquan Boldin, who played with the Cardinals from 2003-2009.

"In those six seasons together, they combined for 1,645 receptions (865 for Fitzgerald, 780 for Boldin), 13,210 yards (2,200 yards per season) and 95 touchdowns. And they put up numbers no matter if the quarterback was Josh McCown, Kurt Warner or Matt Leinart.

"In Super Bowl XLIII, the duo combined for 15 receptions and 211 yards with a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns. Fitzgerald (seven catches for 127 yards and two TDs) was magnificent, as he took a short pass over the middle of the field and ran 64 yards for a go-ahead score in the final 2:37. Fitgerald had six catches for 115 yards and two TDs — in the fourth quarter alone.

"Fitzgerald learned the tricks of the trade early on. The Minneapolis teen was a ballboy for the Vikings when Cris Carter and Randy Moss were setting standards that have never been matched."
