Former Illini wide receiver Brandon Lloyd announced his retirement after 11 NFL seasons.
In a statement issued Thursday, Lloyd said he has no regrets and is “blessed to leave the game in such a healthy and happy place.”
The 34-year-old receiver played for six teams in his 142-game career. He led the league in yards receiving (1,448) in 2010, the only year he was selected for the Pro Bowl. He was a second-team Associated Press All-Pro that season.
Lloyd finished with 399 career receptions for 5,989 yards and 36 touchdowns.
He was a fourth-round pick of San Francisco out of Illinois in the 2003 draft.
