Greatest press conference in NFL history?
Ryan Fitzpatrick coming out to speak to the press wearing Desean Jackson’s clothes might go down as the most memorable moment of his career.
The sheer shock from the reporters mixed with the casual attitude Fitzpatrick had with the jewelry and clothes made the scene something that no one will ever forget, especially considering the fact that the moment came after a huge win.
From the celebration going on in the locker room to Jackson wearing nothing but a towel asking for his clothes back, that moment was such a hilarious bright spot for the Bucs during a time filled with tough losses and controversy.
