Denver Broncos’ Emmanuel Sanders has called time on his NFL career, saying ‘I gave the game everything I had and the game gave it back to me’.
The 35-year-old wide receiver announced his retirement Wednesday after winning Super Bowl 50 seven years ago.
‘I don’t have the itch,’ he told the team’s official website.
‘And I think I don’t have the itch because I know I gave the game everything that I had to offer. … I gave it my all. Every single rep, every single play. I tried to go 100 percent, as hard as I can. … I gave the game everything that I had, and the game gave it back to me.
‘I’m walking away three Super Bowl appearances, a Super Bowl ring and memories of a lifetime. I’m absolutely blessed and grateful for the opportunity to be able to play this game at the level that I played at.’
