JACKSONVILLE, Fla- Former Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback David Garrard officially retired from football Friday. Garrard spent nine years with the Jaguars and was the team's starting quarterback for more than five seasons.
Garrard threw for more than 16,000 yards and 89 career touchdowns with 54 career interceptions for the Jags. He last was on an NFL roster in 2013 when he was with the New York Jets. However, he did not play any significant minutes in the league anywhere besides Jacksonville.
Back problems sidelined the strong armed quarterback from East Carolina towards the end of his career.
