Michigan State Football: Aaron Burbridge retiring from NFL due to injuries

Just one season of live NFL action was all it took for Aaron Burbridge to realize that football was probably not going to be forever.

The former Big Ten Receiver of the Year and Michigan State standout started three games as a rookie in 2016 after being selected in the sixth round by the San Francisco 49ers. He ended the year with seven catches for 88 yards on 16 targets, and that’s all his career in the NFL would yield.

On Wednesday, Field Yates reported that Burbridge would be retiring from the NFL.

Broncos WR Aaron Burbridge, once a standout player at Michigan State, is retiring, per source.
