What doug flutie doing now

The 5-foot, pound quarterback was often overlooked or sidelined by NFL teams for being undersized. He often felt his talents were stifled by coaches or offences that didn't suit his talents. But in the CFL, Flutie felt liberated when coaches frequently let him call his own plays.

When asked if he would garner more NFL buzz if he were graduating today, he says he suspects he would.

Flutie wanders into a room off the kitchen, which has a tall picture window and a grand white piano. The walls are filled with floor-to-ceiling display cases packed with Flutie's trophies, cherished game balls, photos and commemorative boxes of Flutie Flakes.

He raves about his wife's leadership with their Doug Flutie Jr. Their son Dougie is turning 21 and has Childhood Disintegrative Disorder, a low functioning form of autism. He's non verbal and needs their care, but Flutie says he has made progress and is happy.
