By now, most Miami Dolphins fans have seen all the memes and jokes about quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick’s offseason weight gain. He readily admits he loves eating cake at his kid’s birthday parties. And he has a lot of kids, so the parties (and pounds) add up, and he’s now in what he tongue-in-cheek (or is that cake-in-cheek) describes as “peak off-season form.”
But that’s not all he had to say when he spoke during voluntary mini-camp this week. Fitzpatrick is a well-traveled QB with a head (and glorious full beard) on his shoulders, but he’s also well-spoken and smart in his approach to all thing’s football.
