When it comes to sports, there is no denying that there are some pretty incredible records and statistics out there. Some are impressive, some strange, and some are simply mind-blowing. But just because a certain statistic or record has come and gone doesn’t mean that it isn’t worth looking back on. From football to Formula 1 driving, there are so many different statistics to discover. We’ve brought together forty of our favorites, so you’ll have plenty to share next time you’re having a drink with the boys.
#1: Larry Fitzgerald
I’m no expert in the NFL, but I’d guess it’s not every player who can claim this to their name. Playing wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals, you’d expect him to have a few more dropped catches than he would tackle – not even a part of his role as a receiver.
Maybe Fitzgerald was just too good at his job, going above and beyond to be the very best. It’s not a surprise for such an interesting character. Fitzgerald is also known for his friendship with Senator John McCain, for investing in many businesses, and for traveling to over 100 countries.
