Former Eagles RB LeGarrette Blount announces his retirement

LeGarrette Blount took to Instagram on Saturday to announce his retirement from the game of football.

Blount, who turned 34 on Saturday, last played in the NFL in 2018 when he appeared in 16 games for the Detroit Lions and was a key member of the team’s Super Bowl LII win.

Blount left this message for Eagles fans.

PHILADELPHIA!! PHILLY PHILLY!!! PHILLY SPECIAL!!! Doug, Howie Roseman and Mr. Lurie. That entire season was one of the most special seasons in my entire career for so many reasons!! Getting my 3rd SB ring is just icing on the cake that season. Eagles Nation!!

Blount led the Eagles in rushing in 2017 with 173 carries for 766 yards and two touchdowns.

During the Eagles’ 41-33 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII, Blount rushed 14 times for 90 yards and a touchdown against his former team.
