Former Washington State safety Husain Abdullah retired from the NFL on Monday afternoon, citing his health as the deciding factor on why he hung up his cleats.
Abdullah announced his retirement through Instagram, explaining in his own words why he is finished with professional football.
After 7 years in the NFL, I am retiring. I would like to thank the Minnesota Vikings for giving me an opportunity to make the team after going undrafted in 2008. I experienced a great deal of growth both as a football player and as a person during my 4 years in Minnesota.
