John Urschel releases statement on why he’s retiring from the NFL
In a shocking move, John Urschel let the Baltimore Ravens know he was not coming to training camp this morning, after a phone call to John Harbaugh at 6:22 AM. Rather than prepare for the regular season, Urschel opted to hang up his cleats for good.
After the Ravens released the news, and media caught up, everybody’s waited eagerly for his official statement. Finally, Urschel gives his reasoning.
To those that can’t read the tweet below:
“Thank you to everyone for the kind words today. It wasn’t an easy decision, but I believe it was the right one for me. There’s no big story here, and I’d appreciate the right to privacy.
