Former Pittsburgh Steelers CB Steven Nelson has retired. According to NFL Insider and Houston Texans’ beat writer Aaron Wilson, Nelson is hanging up his cleats after eight years in the NFL.
Per Nelson, now 31 years old, via Wilson, he is making the decision to end his football career to spend more time with family. That includes a child expected to be born later in June.
Steven Nelson on his decision: 'Retirement, after thinking it over and having some talks with my family, I think it’s time for me to take a step back and spend more time with my family,” Nelson said in a telephone interview.
