Former Seahawks K Sebastian Janikowski retires

After one year with the Seattle Seahawks and 19 seasons in the NFL, Sebastian Janikowski is hanging up the cleats.

The former first-round draft pick — just imagine Analytics Twitter’s reaction to this move if they existed in 2000 — has announced his retirement through a statement to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Sebastian Janikowski told ESPN that, after 19 seasons, he is retiring from NFL at the age of 41: “It was a good run. I still think of the Super Bowl - it still hurts.” He plans to turn into a cab driver, taking his 3 girls to school.
