Fitzpatrick, 37, is healthy. He had one of the best, and most fulfilling seasons of his 16-year ride with eight different teams a season ago. And his desire to play and pass along knowledge to teammates continues to inspire him at this stage of his career.
Fitzpatrick knows he will have to to surrender the reins of Miami’s starting quarterback job to new Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa at some point.
Fitzpatrick just hopes he can fend off Tagovailoa long enough to play a few more snaps along the way.
Fitzpatrick, who joined his former Buffalo Bills teammate on the “What’s Next with Eric Wood” podcast this week, says he is eager to work with Tagovailoa, and help the Dolphins build on the success they had toward the end of their 5-11 season last year.
