Kevin Patullo will bear a heavy burden as the Eagles’ latest offensive coordinator

Ryan Fitzpatrick is the only former Harvard quarterback to have started even a single NFL game, and he started 147 of them. The best 16 of those in any single season came in 2015, when he threw 31 touchdown passes for the New York Jets. Kevin Patullo, now the Eagles’ offensive coordinator, was his quarterbacks coach.

Now Patullo will get his shot this season as the play-caller for the defending champs. Fitzpatrick, an NFL analyst with Amazon Prime, knows his former coach will be under the microscope.

“That’s a very sought-after position, to be a coordinator for this Eagles team with how talented they are,” Fitzpatrick said. “But it comes with really high expectations, and you’ve got to be able to deal with that.”
