Glover Quin knows Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald is a future Hall of Famer, but he also knows Fitzgerald is a unique personality on the field.

Quin says Fitzgerald tells his defenders, "Hit me high, man, I'll pay your fine. Just avoid the knees".

Of course, aiming at the head during a tackle isn't allowed in the NFL, and illegal hits like that often result in the offending defender being fined.

Quin says Fitzgerald's main concern was -- and probably still is -- blowing out a knee by getting hit in the hips, legs or knees.

He also says Fitzgerald likes to talk a lot on the field, sharing stories of the advice Fitzgerald gives to his defenders after he's beat them and the play us over.
