Oklahoma Sooners Football: Here’s To You, Chris Chester!

After eleven years in the NFL that culminated in a Super Bowl appearance this past season, former Oklahoma offensive guard and tight end Chris Chester announced his retirement from football last week. The longest tenured NFL player from the Bob Stoops era, the versatile Chester was known as the ultimate teammate and leader by his teammates. Always the dependable veteran who last year started every game on the NFL’s best offensive line, Chester began his pro career in Baltimore, then played alongside fellow Sooner Trent Williams in Washington before hanging up the cleats following two stellar seasons in Atlanta.
