“After being traded from Houston to here, I didn’t know if I’d ever find myself in a position to start game again,” Fitzpatrick told the media today. “I understand that the opportunities are few and far between and I understand that my time in this league is probably limited in terms of getting these opportunities, and so I’m going to take advantage of every single day and every single rep that I get out there.”
After acquiring Fitzpatrick from the Texans in March, the Jets took a cautious approach with the 11-year veteran this spring as he recovered from a broken leg.
