Former NFL wide receiver Jeremy Maclin let it be known a few days ago that he was going to retire from the league but that a bigger show of it would be made at a later date. On Thursday, Maclin unveiled a longer message that gave perspective to his retirement and thanked a number of people and fan bases around the NFL.
Maclin took to Twitter to say his official goodbyes from the NFL. In his message he also explained why he left when he did and when he knew his career was taking a turn for the worse—right after his first season in Kansas City.
