That’s the case for former NFL player Ryan Fitzpatrick, who signed with the team as a free agent prior to the 2009 season and played four seasons for the Bills.
During his time with the New York team, the former Harvard Crimson quarterback threw for 11,654 yards and recorded 80 touchdown passes. His charisma and outgoing personality made him a fan favorite and even today he’s loved by many.
Fitzpatrick showed out to support the Buffalo Bills and the fans reacted by going wild and cheering on for the beloved former quarterback. Ryan responded by going shirtless while firing up the crowd at the game. The fans absolutely loved seeing the TV analyst going out of his way and ripping off his shirt in frigid temperatures.
