Kerrigan was a 1st round pick by the Redskins in 2011. He was an iron man for the team and holds the all-time sack record for the franchise(95.5). Kerrigan started 141 games over 10 seasons with the Redskins/Football Team.

Kerrigan wrote a letter to announce his retirement:

Sometimes I think about the life that I’ve been able to live because of football, and I can’t believe it’s me that’s been chosen to live it.
