Dwayne Gratz relishing Larry Fitzgerald challenge

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Dwayne Gratz has admitted that he is relishing the task of facing Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald.

The rookie was scheduled to start the season as the Jaguars' starter but an ankle injury kept him out for the first five games.

However, in recent weeks he has found his form and recorded his first interception in his side's win over the Tennessee Titans.

Gratz told the Florida Times-Union: "I never thought I'd have a chance to go against him. It'll be a great opportunity to display my talents and my skills."

The Jaguars are 1-8 in their season going into week 11.
