The K.C. Chiefs have announced that tight end Nick Keizer has been placed on the reserve/retired list as of Sunday. The move signals an end to Keizer’s three-year professional football career.

Keizer had served as a feel-good story for the Chiefs in that he’d shown an impressive ability to not only earn a spot on the team’s active roster but that he’d earned considerable playing time for a Super Bowl-caliber roster in the process.
