Tyler Polumbus has decided to leave on top.
The former Broncos tackle and eight-year NFL veteran announced his retirement from football in a lengthy Facebook post Tuesday.
“In 2008 Liz and I began the journey of a lifetime,” he wrote. “8 years and 4 teams later we feel that it is time to call it a career in the NFL. When this journey began I was just hoping that I could make the team with extremely long odds in front of me as an undrafted rookie. I thought it would be amazing to say that I played a season or two with the Denver Broncos.
