The Bills drafted him in the first round of the 1980 NFL Draft with the sixteenth overall pick. He was moved from center to guard and spent so many years in Buffalo.

He finished his career out with the Atlanta Falcons. After retiring he’s worked as a commercial pilot for American Airlines.
The Score on Jim Ritcher – 6.0
I’m not sure exactly why, but I really love the style of Jim’s “J”. It’s bubbly but boxy at the same time. It actually appears as if his “R” is almost just his “J” turned in a different direction. I think this is just good style overall. I’m not exactly sure what his inscription stands for “To God Be the Glory.”
Thanks Mr. Ritcher! I’m giving this return a 6.
