Fiedorowicz was the 65th overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, drafted by the Houston Texans as a tight end. The main reasoning behind the former Hawkeye’s retirement is due to his injuries. The amount of concussions C.J. had encountered during his career in the NFL was far too many, and this is the right decision to call it done. As it is definitely heartbreaking, it’s the right thing to do.
Fiedorowicz had a total of three concussions during the 2017 NFL season. The first concussion came in training camp, following the 2nd one on the first game of the season.
