Ryan Fitzpatrick went to Harvard. So he can read. He’s well aware of the book on him. He knows exactly what the scouting report from the outside world is on him.
“I’ve read a lot of them — ‘noodle-arm’ … ‘can’t throw it past 20 yards’ … ‘can’t throw the deep ball’ … ‘slow’ … ‘too risky,’ ’’ Fitzpatrick said Sunday after his fourth training camp practice as a Jets quarterback at Florham Park.
Fitzpatrick insisted none of these derogatory assessments bother him. That’s what 10 years in the NFL will do for you. It’ll harden you.
