Darnell Dockett set to retire after ten years in NFL

Three-time Pro Bowl defensive end Darnell Dockett is bowing out after a stellar ten-year career that featured 459 tackles, 40.5 sacks and a shared record for the most quarterback takedowns in a Super Bowl.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Dockett is set to announce his retirement on Monday, per a source with knowledge of the situation.

The outspoken pass rusher and Twitter raconteur, known as much for his brutal honesty and insight as his effective pass rushing techniques, was a former third-round pick out of Florida State and will go down as one of the best defensive players in Cardinals history.
