Dolphins' Fitzpatrick will share 'FitzMagic'

DAVIE, Fla. — Miami Dolphins rookie safety Minkah Fitzpatrick wants to trademark his nickname but says he’d be happy to share it with Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Both go by “FitzMagic,” and the Bucs’ QB has been making headlines while leading his team to a 2-0 start as a replacement for Jameis Winston.

That’s not the reason Minkah Fitzpatrick recently filed for a federal trademark of the nickname, he said Wednesday.

“I would have done it a while back, but I couldn’t because I was in college,” the Dolphins’ first-round draft pick said. He said he wants to use the name to sell a line of apparel.

Minkah Fitzpatrick said he has been called FitzMagic since junior high school in New Jersey.
