“You see a guy, a captain, one of the big leaders on your team, you see him lying down on the ground, we’re human – before Carson is our quarterback, he’s our friend,” wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald said on Arizona’s official website. “You know his kids, you know his wife, and those are the things you think about.
