Tramon Williams, one of the Green Bay Packers' greatest success stories, retired Tuesday.
The 14-year veteran, who wore No. 38 during his 10 seasons in Green Bay, made the announcement on his 38th birthday.
He offered his thanks in a series of tweets posted Tuesday.
It's been a heck of a journey. I would like to first thank my Lord God for allowing me 38 years and molding me into the man I am today. Thank you for using me to inspire others on a daily. Secondly, I would like to thank my wife and kids, who sacrificed so much to keep my dreams pic.
