Steelers make the Vance McDonald retirement official

Although the Pittsburgh Steelers said farewell to tight end Vance McDonald after his retirement last month, the team has finally made the move official by putting McDonald on the Reserve/Retire List.

Upon his retirement, McDonald released the following statement:

“My family and I are so grateful for everything NFL football has provided us in our life — all the memories both good and the difficult, the relationships and friends we’ve made along the way, the life lessons the game provided both me and my loved ones,” McDonald said in a statement released through the team.
