“Throughout my time in NFL, I have given my everything to football both mentally and physically – each day was dedicated to becoming the best possible footballer I could be,” Aaron shared about his retirement.

“I respected football like no other, and I’m lucky to be able to conclude my National Football League career with the same team that selected me. Not many footballers get drafted to an organization, win a World Championship with that franchise, and retire as part of them. I do not, and will not, take that for granted.”

He and Sanders are the only footballers in the league’s history to play 10 campaigns and get picked to the Pro Bowl in each campaign.
