Who will Ryan Fitzpatrick sign a one-day contract and retire with? Well, he may have revealed that answer as the former Harvard University quarterback is walking away from the NFL after 17 interesting years.
Never a big-time star at the position, Fitzpatrick was a charismatic quarterback who had a flair for huge performances and deflating moments during his up and down career.
On a recent episode of Adam Schefter’s podcast, Fitzpatrick revealed which team he felt closest with. Fitzpatrick spent four seasons with the Buffalo Bills and said that the fans in Buffalo “are my people.”
“I don’t know if I’ve ever felt more at home in a stadium or with a fanbase, and I was in Buffalo for 4 years, but those are my people. I feel like I understand them and they understand me,” Fitzpatrick said.
Fitzpatrick played for the Bills from 2009-12 and started 53 games during that time. He finished with a 20-33 record and threw 80 touchdowns and 64 interceptions, accumulating 11,654 yards through the air.
This past postseason, Fitzpatrick showed up to a game and had his shirt off in the cold as he cheered on the Bills with their fan base.
