Former Packers DB Morgan Burnett announces retirement from NFL

Former Green Bay Packers defensive back Morgan Burnett announced his retirement from the NFL in a post from his official Instagram account on Monday.

Burnett, 32, thanked teammates, coaches and fans.

“Ups and downs, wins and losses, I’m grateful for every moment and thankful for every opportunity I got to step on a practice field and game field,” Burnett wrote. “I may be hanging the cleats up but I will always have love and respect for the game.”

Burnett, a third-round pick of the Packers in 2010, played eight seasons in Green Bay. He appeared in 102 regular-season games and 11 playoff games with the Packers.
