Devon Still, who has inspired many Bengals fans and others since he played in Cincinnati from 2012 to 2014 while his daughter, Leah, fought courageously through treatment of Stage 4 neuroblastoma, announced his retirement from football Saturday on Instagram, acknowledging that "it's hard walking away from football" but he's "looking forward to the next phase."

The second-round draft pick in 2012 insisted in 2015 that his "heart is still with the Bengals" because of their decision to keep him on the team.
