Ryan Fitzpatrick ‘hated football’ in 2016 while playing for NY Jets

Former New York Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is a lot of different things to a lot of people. He’s one of those polarizing athletes that generates over-the-top fan emotion.

After a recent spot on the ESNY Daily podcast with Pablo S. Torre, his polarizing nature will only increase after describing his 2016 year with the Green and White as “miserable.”

“The other major point in my career when there was a transition was after my year in 2016 with the Jets, which was miserable and the first time in my life I hated football and just didn’t want to play anymore,” Fitzpatrick said in the podcast interview.
