Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. Even though Ryan Fitzpatrick didn’t spend much time with the Los Angeles Rams to begin his career, he should be recognized following his retirement from the NFL after 17 seasons.
The Rams selected Fitzpatrick in the seventh round of the 2005 NFL draft out of Harvard. He would begin his career as a third-string quarterback to Marc Bulger and Jamie Martin, starting in three games as a rookie.
After two seasons with the Rams, Fitzpatrick would proceed to have a memorable career where he played for nearly half the league. The team he spent the most time with was the Buffalo Bills from 2009 to 2012.
