NEW YORK (AP) — Versatile running back Danny Woodhead has announced his retirement from the NFL after 10 seasons.
Woodhead, who played with Baltimore last season, wrote in an Instagram post early Saturday that it is time for him to leave the game he loves.
The 5-foot-8 Woodhead was a two-time Harlon Hill Trophy winner at Chadron State in Nebraska as the top player in NCAA Division II. Despite his college success, he went undrafted in 2008 and signed with the New York Jets as a free agent.
He joined New England early in the 2010 season and played three years with the Patriots while establishing himself as a solid playmaker.
