One of the most successful draft picks in recent Cincinnati Bengals history is hanging up his cleats.
Former Bengals cornerback Johnathan Joseph announced his retirement from the NFL via his Twitter account. Joseph included pictures from his days as a Bengal in the tweet.
Today I retire from the NFL.
In the summer of 2006, I signed my first NFL contract with the Cincinnati Bengals. Fifteen years later, I can say I accomplished my childhood goal of making it to the NFL. I will never forget as a kid telling my father I wanted to be in the NFL.
