Former Titans CB Alterraun Verner announces retirement from NFL

Former Tennessee Titans cornerback Alterraun Verner has officially announced his retirement from the NFL.

He also took to Instagram with the information, thanking the Titans for their role in his career.

“I am thankful for the Tennessee Titans Organization to bet on a 21 year old kid from UCLA with the 104th pick of the fourth round,” he wrote. “You guys gave me my first shot at my dream. Had four great years which included a pro bowl berth!”

Verner was originally drafted in 2010 by Tennessee, and played in Nashville from 2010-2013 in before signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

He played three seasons with the team (2014-16) before joining the Miami Dolphins in 2017.

Verner reeled in 11 of his 15 career interceptions with the Titans, including five on his Pro Bowl season in 2013.
