After the 2022 season, it didn’t take former New England Patriots safety Devin McCourty long to come to the realization that it was time to hang up the cleats.
Part of his decision stemmed from his overall view of where the team was headed.
New England finished the 2022 season with a record of 8-9 and missed the playoffs for the second time in three seasons. McCourty finished the year with 71 combined tackles and four interceptions. The interceptions were his most since the 2019 season.
The former Rutgers star closed out the year on a high note, recording five tackles and an interception against the Buffalo Bills in the finale.
