Sooners have celeb visitor at last practice of year

PARADISE VALLEY, Ariz. — Last full practice of the year for Oklahoma wrapped up a few minutes ago. All-Pro receiver Larry Fitzgerald stopped by to hang out with the guys for a bit, down at Corona del Sol High School. How about that?

Fitzgerald visits Sooners practice

The Cardinals host Seattle this weekend in Glendale, a day before the Fiesta Bowl. Guess he had a few minutes and was in the neighborhood. The Sooners, of course, were thrilled he paid them a visit — and especially the receivers. I suppose it actually worked out, in a way, that Ryan Broyles and Jaz Reynolds were injured. They had time to pick the brain of the six-time Pro Bowler, who is inching toward 10,000 career yards with the Cards.

Kenny Stills tweeted that Fitzgerald spoke with the team. “Faith Focus Finish,” was the message, Stills said.

I liked the thought, too, from Corey Wilson, injured years ago in a car accident but traveling here with the team (he’s pictured above): “My boy @RyanBroyles gettin the chance of a lifetime to soak up game from one of the greatest can’t help but be happy for him”.
