FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Doug Flutie retired Monday, ending a 21-year career in which the undersized Heisman Trophy winner threw one of college football's most famous passes and played a dozen seasons in the NFL.

"It's just been a fun run for me," the 43-year-old Flutie said.
Flutie finished his career with one season with the New England Patriots, for whom he threw 10 passes in five games but was able to play near his home in Natick and close to Boston College, where he won the Heisman in 1984.

"To finish it up by getting back here is very special," he said at a news conference at Gillette Stadium, home of the Patriots.
Flutie's next job will be as a college football analyst with ABC and ESPN. He'll work in the ABC studio during Saturday's college football games and on ESPN studio shows, and might be an analyst at some games

Yeah, he was always one of my favorite. I can never get over what might have been had he been given a fair shake in the NFL right out of college... not to take anything away from the CFL and the Argos, but what could he have done in the NFL during those years...
