Ryan Fitzpatrick first met Chiefs TE Travis Kelce over a game of beer pong

Longtime NFL QB Ryan Fitzpatrick retired this past week after 17 years in the league.

A seventh-round draft pick by the St. Louis Rams out of Harvard in 2005, Fitzpatrick played for a number of NFL franchises during his career including the Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, Tennessee Titans, Houston Texans, New York Jets, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Washington Football Team. Spending such a long time in the NFL and across so many different teams, you’d expect that Fitzpatrick would know most players around the league. While that’s the case for most players, it wasn’t the case with one particular Kansas City Chiefs player.

Speaking with ESPN reporter Adam Schefter on his podcast in a recent post-retirement interview, Fitzpatrick and Schefter discussed the story of how Fitz met Chiefs TE Travis Kelce.
