"Just a man standing on top of the world with a heart full of gratitude," Ngata wrote in an Instagram post. "Thank you Lord for letting me play the game I love for 13 unforgettable years. I’m retiring on top. I might be finished playing football, but I’m holding tight to the friendships, memories and wisdom I’ve gained along the way. 'Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it.
