While his name might not go down in history as one of the league best ever defensive players, the NFL lost one of their kindest personalities on Monday when former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Arthur Moats officially announced his retirement on social media.
After nine years in the league with the Buffalo Bills, Steelers and Arizona Cardinals, the popular linebacker has decided to move onto the next phase of his life away from the football field.
Selected by the Bills in the sixth-round of the 2010 draft, Moats would make his way to Pittsburgh via free agency in 2014, initially signing a one-year deal with the team.
