Darren Waller took to YouTube Sunday night to confirm and explain his decision to retire from the NFL.
“I’ve had quite an eventful year,” Waller said. “For a lot of my life my life has looked tremendous from the things that I have going on ... but internally there’s been a lot of stops where it’s like ‘why doesn’t it feel as good as it looks’?”
Waller said he had a “very scary” medical emergency where he thought he was dying last year shortly after he suffered a hamstring injury that forced him to miss several games.
