Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles' 15-year NFL career will come to an end at the conclusion of the 2019 season.
Sproles announced his decision Saturday with a statement on the team's official website:
"Looking back on my career, I think about the time I stood on the stage inside the RCA Dome getting measured for coaches and scouts at the 2005 NFL Scouting Combine. When my height and weight were announced, I could hear laughing from the audience. I've always been short, it's not the first time I've been made fun of for it, but I started worrying that I might not get picked because of my size.
