- Veteran never reached playoffs during long career
- Mercurial play earned him the nickname ‘Fitzmagic’
Ryan Fitzpatrick has called an end to one of the NFL’s most varied career, with the news on Thursday that the veteran will retire.
The 39-year-old’s career was noted for its longevity and its multiple ports of call rather than playoff success. He started at quarterback for nine different teams – an NFL record – over 17 seasons but never appeared in the postseason.
