NFL QBs son is a human calculator

TEXANS quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is a Harvard graduate, and with the brain power his son displayed (* for a spoiler read below) on Monday, another Fitzpatrick may be in Cambridge some day.

After Fitzpatrick dismantled the Titans, throwing for 358 yards and a career-high six touchdowns in a 45-21 rout, the quarterback was in a jovial mood at his post-game press conference, introducing the media to his son, Brady.

He then put his son on the spot, telling Brady to come stand beside him at the podium. Fitzpatrick asked a media member to give his son two numbers between 90 and 99 to multiply.

The reporter called out 93 and 97, and after thinking about it for a few seconds, Brady calmly (and correctly) responded “9,021.”

“Boom,” said the elder Fitzpatrick and the two walked off the stage.

Like father, like son. The brainy Fitzpatrick majored in economics at Harvard and finished the Wonderlic test — a 12-minute IQ test administered at the NFL Combine — in a speedy nine minutes. It was once reported he got a perfect 50 on the exam, but he admitted afterwards he left a question blank.

Ryan and Brady Fitzpatrick are a couple of math whizzes.

* Spoiler alert there is a trick for multiplying two numbers between 90 and 99. Using the question above:

93 (7 from 100) x 97 (3 from 100)

1: Add up the numbers in parenthesis, 7+3=10 and subtract that number from 100. 100 — 10 = 90

2: Multiply the two numbers in parenthesis together 7*3 = 21

3: The result of step 1 is the first two numbers of the answer and the result of step 2 is the second two numbers, therefore the answer is 9021
