Former Titans, Buccaneers, Patriots RB LeGarrette Blount Retires After 9 Seasons

Running back announced Friday he's calling it a career after nine seasons and three Super Bowl rings.

Despite running for more than 1,000 yards with Oregon in 2008, Blount entered the league as an undrafted free agent. He wasted little time making an impact on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a rookie in 2010 and finished his regular-season career with 6,306 rushing yards and 58 total touchdowns.

He recorded a head-turning 1,007 rushing yards during his first NFL season and played for the Buccaneers through the 2012 campaign before joining the New England Patriots.

He was with New England from 2013 through 2016, although he played the first 11 games of the 2014 campaign for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
