Former Missouri and Chiefs wide receiver Jeremy Maclin will officially retire from the NFL due to lingering health issues, he said in a letter on Thursday.
Maclin, who last played with the Ravens in 2017, officially announced his retirement on March 24 but didn’t provide details until releasing this public letter on Twitter. The 30-year-old missed the entire 2018 season in an attempt to recover from lingering hamstring pain but had no luck despite numerous injections and therapy.
The 6-foot wideout revealed that he tore his MCL on the final catch of his Ravens career, which also played a part in his decision.
