Ryan Fitzpatrick, American football player
Ryan Joseph Fitzpatrick (born November 24, 1982) is an American football quarterback who is a free agent. He played college football at Harvard, where he was the school's first quarterback to have over 1,000 rushing yards, and was selected by the St. Louis Rams in the seventh round of the 2005 NFL Draft.
Fitzpatrick has since started for nine different NFL teams during his 16-season career, the most of any quarterback. He is also the only NFL player to throw a touchdown pass with eight different teams. Some of Fitzpatrick's notable stints have been with the Buffalo Bills, New York Jets, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Miami Dolphins; his longest being with the Bills for four seasons. As a member of the Buccaneers in 2018, Fitzpatrick became the first NFL quarterback to throw for over 400 yards in three consecutive games.
Fitzpatrick's competitive but inconsistent performances have earned him the nicknames "Fitzmagic" and "Fitztragic". Fitzpatrick holds the most career passing yards and touchdowns among quarterbacks who have not appeared in the postseason despite having two winning seasons.
