Former UConn fullback and Super Bowl LIV Champion Anthony Sherman retires from the NFL

Kansas City Chiefs fullback and former University of Connecticut football team captain Anthony Sherman has officially retired after 10 seasons in the National Football League.

Sherman, who was drafted in the fifth round of the 2011 NFL draft by the Arizona Cardinals, spent two seasons with the club before being traded to Kansas City for CB Javier Arenas. He then stayed with the Chiefs for the remainder of his career, making a name for himself while playing a position that has been called a “dying breed” across the league, as the NFL continues to embrace the air-raid style of play and spread formations.
