Who is Doug Flutie?

Douglas Richard Flutie popularly known as Doug Flutie was born on October 23rd of 1962 in Manchester, Maryland. Flutie has Lebanese heritage through his paternal great-grandparents, who were immigrants to the United States.

At the age of six, he relocated with his family to Melbourne Beach, Florida, with his father taking a job as an aerospace engineer. Doug grew up with his younger brother Darren, who also became a successful football player.

During Doug’s high school years, his athletic potential became immediately clear. He led his team to two Brevard County Championships before his family relocated back to Natick, Massachusetts in 1976. Back in Natick, Flutie once again proved to be an influential figure in his school’s football team. He also played football, basketball, and baseball.

Flutie played college football for Boston College – the only school that seemed interested in recruiting him. For three years during the early 80s, Flutie became a legendary figure with the team, winning the Heisman Trophy, the Maxwell Award, and the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award.

His big moment came against the Miami Hurricanes in 1984, when he threw the game-winning pass with just six seconds on the clock.

Although Flutie had reached widespread fame as a result of his “Hail Flutie” pass, observers questioned whether Doug’s relatively small size made him suitable for professional football. The USFL immediately snapped him up, as the league w as in dire need of a big-name star.

He played for the New Jersey Generals, signing a deal that made him the highest-paid pro footballer and the highest-paid rookie of any sport.

In 1986, he joined the NFL with the Chicago Bears after a slightly unimpressive display in the USFL (which folded shortly after he joined). He then played for the New England Patriots for many years before leaving for the CFL.

Doug then spent eight years in the CFL, establishing himself as one of the greatest players to ever grace the league. He won a number of honors in the CFL, including numerous Grey Cups, 270 touchdowns, and well over 40,000 passing yards.

Flutie then ended his career back in the NFL, playing for the Buffalo Bills, proving his worth with a number of stellar performances. In 2001, he began a four-year stint with the San Diego Chargers. In 2005, he returned to the New England Patriots, becoming the backup for Tom Brady.

He ended his career with a successful drop-kick point against the Miami Dolphins, something that had not been done since 1941. Numerous observers claimed that it was a “retirement present” for Doug.

After retiring from football, Doug Flutie became an analyst for ESPN and NBC, mostly covering college football games. In 2011, he started focusing more on work with NBC. In 2014, he became the color commentator for Notre Dame with NBC.
