The New York Giants are down another tight end in 2020 as Rhett Ellison has officially declared his retirement from the NFL.

Ellison was signed by the Giants in 2017, playing three seasons in blue before calling it quits. Ellison suffered a concussion on Nov. 10 against the New York Jets, which forced him out for the remainder of the 2019 campaign (six games). Over 10-games, he posted 167 yards and one score.

Ellison stated, per the New York Giants website:

“The past few weeks, it’s kind of been an emotional rollercoaster,” Ellison said.
