The right platform of the holy Ryan Ramczyk announced his retirement on Thursday evening.
“What an incredible journey it was,” Ramczyk wrote in a long missive on social networks. “My way to the NFL was not a straight line. It was not the story that most people expected. There were times when people doubted me, moments when I did not doubt myself. It’s funny how life works. Sometimes, the less retail road leads to places where you did not expect, but it ends up being exactly where you are supposed to be. Retirement, I am filled with gratitude for all that this sport has given me. »»
Ramczyk, a first -round choice in 2017, has fought knee problems in the past two seasons. He missed five games in 2023 and all last season.
