Former Ole Miss defensive tackle Jerrell Powe announced on Tuesday that he will be retiring from the NFL and will return to the 662 to finish his degree at The University of Mississippi. The big fella played six seasons in the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs, Houston Texas and finally the Washington Redskins before calling it quits this week.

The former All-SEC player and PARADE All-American from Wayne County was a beloved individual by all during his time at Ole Miss. From his enormous, contagious grin off the field, to his disruptive play on it, if you didn’t like Jerrell Powe then you were someone who was probably a terrible person.
