Wide receiver Andrew Hawkins has announced the news of his decision to retire on @uninterupted. The 31-year-old former Brown, the speedy receiver signed by the Patriots to a one-year deal during the offseason, made a few plays during the early camps, but was still going to have a tough time cracking the roster with Brandin Cooks, Julian Edelman, Chris Hogan, Malcolm Mitchell and Danny Amendola in front of him.
"After OTAs and summer training, my body just didn't respond and didn't feel the way it should before training camp let alone with the defending world champions," Hawkins told @uninterupted.
