My Take
Ryan Fitzpatrick is one of my favorite kinds of athletes: the Harvard-educated journeyman who turned persistence into legend. Starting for nine different NFL teams, more than anyone in history, and throwing touchdowns for eight, he was football's perpetual hired captain, the smart, beloved gunslinger who reinvented himself everywhere he landed. I gravitate toward this profile far more than the one-team superstar. There is something deeply human about a quarterback who keeps getting up, keeps learning a new playbook, and keeps winning over locker rooms with brains, beard and grit. Seventeen seasons of that earns my genuine admiration.
