Tampa Bay Buccaneers Pro Bowl guard Ali Marpet retires at age 28

TAMPA, Fla. -- In a shocking move, Buccaneers Pro Bowl left guard Ali Marpet is retiring, he announced on Instagram.

Marpet is just 28 years old and finished off his first-ever Pro Bowl season. He is arguably considered one of, if not the top Buccaneers offensive linemen.

A source told ESPN that Marpet made the decision due to concerns for his overall health.

"After seven formidable years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, I've come to the decision to retire from the game that has given me so much," he wrote in his Instagram post.
