Longtime NFL Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is calling it quits after a 17 year career, which seen him start at QB for nine different franchises, an NFL record. Fitzpatrick, aka “Fitzmagic” also holds the records for most passing yards (34,990) for a quarterback who never appeared in a playoff game.
For the majority of his career, he was seen more as a Plan B quarterback, filling in for an injured starter, or filling the void until a younger quarterback with more potential was ready. However, considering he was a seventh round draft pick, 250th overall out of the Ivy League’s Harvard University, he ended up having a solid career despite the fact he bounced around so much.
As the years went on, Fitzpatrick’s facial hair became quite the topic of discussion, as it continued to grow longer and longer. NFL Insider Adam Schefter posted a pic of what he called “A Fitzmagical Transformation”
