Adam Vinatieri, legendary kicker for the Patriots and Colts, has finally decided to retire.
Vinatieri went on his good friend Pat McAfee’s show earlier today to announce that, after a whopping 24 seasons in the NFL, he will be hanging up the cleats at the ripe old age of 48. After an IR designation in 2019, Vinatieri didn’t play at all last season, and now he’ll be moving on to the next phase of his life.
If you’re high school age or younger, you likely don’t remember Vinatieri’s stint with the Patriots, which began all the way back in 1996 when he was brought in as an undrafted free agent to compete with 17-year veteran Matt Bahr.
