TAMPA, Fla. -- There is one person who is not surprised by Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick going "Fitz-magic" on the New Orleans Saints in Week 1, and his name is George Amadeo.
Amadeo is a gamer and survivor of the Jacksonville, Florida, "Madden NFL 19" tournament shooting on Aug. 26, and he has experienced some of his own "Fitz-magic."
Recovering in the hospital from a gunshot wound to his foot and ankle area, Amadeo received a special 18th birthday surprise when Fitzpatrick called to wish him well on his big day on Aug.
