Ryan Fitzpatrick and Josh Johnson are among the most well-traveled players in NFL history

#2) Josh McCown

Josh McCown is now the Carolina Panthers' quarterbacks coach

Josh McCown did not do much in his 12-team NFL career, not making the postseason until his late 30s, and even then only as a backup. However, he, or at least a part of him, is enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

With the Arizona Cardinals, his first team, he denied the Minnesota Vikings of future Hall of Famer Randy Moss the NFC North title and a playoff spot with a walk-off touchdown to Nate Poole, turning them into Green Bay heroes and sending his jersey to Canton.

After that, he settled into a role as a mediocre starter and back for the likes of the Panthers, (where he is now the quarterback coach), Browns, Bears and Eagles.
