AP source: Jets left tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson to retire
NEW YORK — D'Brickashaw Ferguson is walking away from football after 10 years of protecting New York Jets quarterbacks.
The remarkably durable and consistent left tackle who never missed a snap due to injury has decided to retire, according to a person familiar with the decision.
Ferguson was the No. 4 overall pick out of Virginia in the 2006 NFL draft and was selected to three Pro Bowls while establishing himself as one of the league's best at his position. But he has chosen to walk away, according to the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Friday because neither the Jets nor Ferguson announced the move.
ESPN first reported Ferguson's decision to retire.
