Fitzmagic will still be part of the NFL but not in the way we used to experience it. Retired journeyman quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is venturing into broadcasting and will serve as a studio analyst for Amazon Prime Video during the 2022 NFL season.
Amazon Prime Video is set to broadcast Thursday Night Football starting this upcoming season, and Fitzpatrick should be a big part of the program. He is expected to be involved in pregame, halftime, and postgame coverage, according to the streamer’s announcement.
Prime Video’s director of global live sports production Jared Stacy issued a statement to confirm the news and called Fitzpatrick “one of the great characters in the league.”
“We’re thrilled to now have him on our team and know our viewers will love seeing his sense of humor and intelligence on display every week,” Stacy added.
Besides Fitzpatrick, Amazon’s Thursday Night Football coverage will also include Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez and legendary Seattle Seahawks corner Richard Sherman.
Ryan Fitzpatrick played 17 seasons in the NFL and suited up for nine different teams during that period. He spent 2021 with the Washington Commanders but was limited to just one game due to a hip injury. Fitzpatrick opted against a comeback this offseason and instead officially retired in early June.
