Former New England Patriots running back Sony Michel has reached the end of his NFL career.
Michel, who won a Super Bowl with both the Patriots and the Rams, informed Los Angeles of his decision to retire from professional football Saturday after just five seasons, head coach Sean McVay told reporters, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The Patriots selected Michel in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft and the Georgia product was integral to New England winning a Super Bowl during his rookie season. Michel rushed for 931 yards and six touchdowns during his first campaign, but he saved his best performances for that season’s playoffs.
