Linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. announced his retirement Thursday after nine NFL seasons.
“Thank you football for 26 years of blood, sweat and tears,” Walker, 30, wrote in a statement posted to Instagram.
Walker, who was a fifth-round draft pick by the Indianapolis Colts in 2017, made more than 100 tackles in a season three times in his career.
He appeared in two regular-season games last season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who signed him off the Colts’ practice squad in December.
He retires with 581 tackles, 5.5 sacks and four interceptions in 101 games (83 starts) for the Colts, Cleveland Browns, Miami Dolphins and Buccaneers.
