Ted Ginn Jr., who was a controversial No. 9 selection by the Miami Dolphins in the 2007 draft, announced his retirement on Friday after a 14-year NFL career.
The 36-year-old former Ohio State receiver and returner played for his father, Ted Sr., at Glenville before moving on to the Buckeyes and the NFL.
“I’ve dedicated my entire life to football until now,” Ginn said. “I’m going out in peace. ... On my own terms, not forced out.”
The fleet wide receiver was selected by Miami in 2007 when a vast number of media members and fans wanted the Dolphins to select Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn.
