Patriots WR Andrew Hawkins announces retirement

Two months ago, former Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrew Hawkins published a video via Uninterrupted to announce that his time on the open market had come to an end: The 31-year old had signed a free agency contract with the New England Patriots; a one-year deal that gave him the chance to compete for a roster spot with the team.

Today, Hawkins took to Uninterrupted to make another announcement - a rather surprising one: He is retiring after six years in the NFL.

I just got off the phone with the New England Patriots and head coach Belichick and had to inform them of my decision to retire and hang up the cleats.
