I grew up down the street from BC's football 🏟️. I remember the roars when Doug Flutie was playing. He became one of my idols, & this article from @nytimes.com shows why. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7041545/2026/03/16/doug-flutie-nfl-career-magic/?unlocked_article_code=1.TlA.cIaj.Nea9MUvKAcNd&source=athletic_user_shared_gift_article_copylink&smid=url-share-ta
Doug Flutie magic is real. The NFL just wasn’t ready for it

Because of Flutie's height — or lack thereof at 5-8 5/8 — no NFL team fully invested in him. Would it be different if he played now?
