Former Arizona Cardinals lineman Jack Crawford has announced his retirement from the NFL. He made the announcement on his personal Twitter account.
He wrote:
After 10 seasons in the NFL, I know my time has come to step away from the game and close the chapter of my life in the league.
At 16 years old, I left my family and friends in the U.K. and moved to the U.S. I couldn’t have imagined the journey that lay ahead of me, it feels like it flew by and I’m grateful for every minute.
I want to thank all the organizations that took a chance on me and all of the fans that supported me. I will never take for granted the memories of going to battle with my friends and teammates.
I want to give a special thanks to my girlfriend, Megan, who supported me throughout my career and picked me up when I was down.
I want to thank my agent David Canter who worked hard to protect my best interests.
I also want to thank the Dandrea family, they welcomed me into their home and treated me as one of their own since Day 1.
Many Cardinals fans won’t remember Crawford because he never played a game for them.
He was signed last year in training camp, got injured and was placed on injured reserve before the start of the season. He remained on IR until he became a free agent in March.
