Former Penn State Football standout Sean Lee announced his retirement from the NFL Monday.

After 11 seasons in the NFL, Lee told ESPN he will be retiring.

Lee was a two-time Pro Bowler, and a first-team All Pro selection in 2016. Despite a career filled win injuries, Lee was the heart and sole of the Dallas Cowboys defense for over a decade, after one of the most dominant careers ever by a Nittany Lions linebacker.
