Former Penn State wideout and State College grad Jordan Norwood has officially retired from football.

In a lengthy social media post Sunday — reprinted in its entirety below — Norwood credited God and his faith for his career, acknowledging he’s never been able to say he “loves” playing the game of football.

In an interview with the Centre Daily Times in June, Norwood knew at that point he could be done with his playing career. But he intimated he was OK with that, saying that he likely planned to stay around the Denver community no matter what.
