Running back Damien Harris has announced his retirement from the NFL after five years.
The 27 year old made the announcement on his Instagram. He spent the first four years of his career and signed a 1 year deal with the Buffalo Bills for last season.
Harris suffered a neck injury in week 6 against the New York Giants last season and appeared in just six games.
Harris wrote on Instagram...
"For the past 20 years, playing the game of football has been one of the greatest privileges in my life.
"Getting to represent the name on the back of my jersey on and off the field, getting to compete at the highest level with and against the best competitors while winning championships, and being coached by the two greatest head coaches of all-time in Nick Saban and Bill Belichick are all just a small part of what God has done in my life with the game of football.
"The people I've met, the places I've been and will go on to go, the experiences and memories I've made, the impact I've been able to make to this point, these are the things that mean the most to me.
"Gratitude is defined as 'the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.' Today, I am grateful I have found the strength to walk away from the game I love so much."
