New York Giants tight end Darren Waller has decided to hang up his jersey at the age of 31 after eight seasons, saying he had “amazing moments” playing football but his passion for the sport had “slowly been fading.”
“I’ve decided to retire from the game of football,” he wrote in a post via Instagram on June 9. “To God: what a journey, and thank you. We took it way farther than I ever could have imagined! So grateful for all the [people] I’ve been able to connect and create memories with along the way. We still got plenty more life left to live.”
