Former Rams OL Austin Blythe retires from NFL after 7 seasons

Austin Blythe is calling it a career. The former Rams offensive lineman announced on Tuesday that he’s retiring from the NFL after seven seasons, the most recent of which was spent as the Seahawks’ starting center.

Blythe was with the Rams for four years from 2017-2020, starting at both right guard and center. He was part of the team that reached the Super Bowl in 2018, becoming an important part of the offensive line in his second season with Los Angeles.
