Jon David Ritchie (born September 4, 1974) is an American former professional football fullback and current sports radio host who played in the National Football League (NFL) for seven seasons. He played college football at Michigan for two seasons before transferring to Stanford, and was selected by the Oakland Raiders in the third round of the 1998 NFL draft. He spent five seasons with the Raiders before signing with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2003, where he spent two seasons before retiring in 2006. Despite only 15 rushing attempts in his NFL career, Ritchie built a reputation with his blue-collar work ethic and was considered one of the best blocking fullbacks in the league.^[1]

After retiring from football, Ritchie entered a career in media. He has previously appeared as a contributor for ESPN and the NBC Sports Network. From 2013 to 2014, he co-hosted The Artie Lange Show alongside comedian Artie Lange. Since 2016, he has served as a co-host alongside Joe DeCamara on 94.1 WIP in Philadelphia.
