Even though he also spent time in Cleveland and Detroit, Jamie Collins will forever be associated with the New England Patriots. Now, the 33-year-old linebacker has called it a career.
Collins told ESPN on Friday that he would step away from the game after 10 seasons and a combined 134 regular season and playoff games.
“It hasn’t hit me yet, but I’m officially retired,” Collins said. “It was wonderful and something I never thought I’d be a part of. Made a lot of great relationships. Had a ton of fun. Now it’s time to relax and be with my family.
