The Gilbert, Arizona native played his college football at Harvard University and was selected by the St. Louis Rams in the 7th round of the 2005 NFL Draft.
Washington is the 9th team Fitzpatrick has suited up for in 16 seasons in the league. That list of teams also includes the Rams, Cincinnati Bengals, Buffalo Bills, Tennessee Titans, Houston Texans, New York Jets, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Miami Dolphins. A universally respected and well-liked journeyman dubbed “Fitzmagic” for his tough and electrifying style of play, Fitzpatrick holds several NFL records that are a testament to his longevity.
