As Larry Fitzgerald spoke on a variety of topics Tuesday, rookie third-round wide receiver Chad Williams came up. And Fitz delivered the eyebrow-raising comparison -- kind of.

"He reminds me of Anquan Boldin, in terms of the strength of his hands," Fitzgerald said. "Once it touches his hands, it just doesn't move. He's got unbelievably strong hands."

Now, invoking the name of Anquan is pretty high praise around these parts. It's never taken lightly, even if Fitz narrowed it to Williams' hands. Boldin and Williams aren't built the same, Boldin being thicker than Williams, but certainly, this franchise would take Williams being anywhere close to Boldin. After all, Boldin has carved out a marvelous NFL career, and it's impossible to forget his best seasons came in an Arizona uniform.

(Before we go any further, Boldin has said he wants to play in 2017. But it won't be with the Cardinals, even though many fans would love a reunion. As I have mentioned before. Boldin and Fitzgerald play essentially the same position at this point in their careers. Having them both on the roster makes little sense.)

It's not the first time Fitzgerald has brought up a Boldin comparison with a young Cardinals wideout. A couple of times Fitzgerald made the Anquan-Michael Floyd comparison, in terms of those players playing "angry" -- in a good way. Chad Williams has a long, long way to go to prove himself anywhere Anquan-worthy, especially since his opportunities are going to be much more limited as a rookie that Boldin had in 2003. (No one is forgetting 10-217-2 to start his career.)

Q hands or not, though, Fitzgerald says he's bullish on the rookie Williams.

"(Chad) has got deceptive speed, when he's running with guys, you see him and you're like, 'He's really moving,' " Fitzgerald said. "He's making his plays. ... He's going  to be a great help to us. He's a very outgoing young man, has a high football IQ, which always helps."
