Former Vikings TE Rhett Ellison retires

After eight seasons in the NFL, tight end Rhett Ellison will retire.

Ellison played five seasons with the Vikings and his final three with the Giants after being drafted in the fourth round of the 2012 NFL Draft out of USC.

Throughout his career, Ellison finished with 118 catches for 1,189 yards and seven touchdowns.

If you remember right, Ellison’s dad wasn’t a huge fan of the Vikings organization, calling it “toxic”.

(It’s worth noting that Ellison won just 10 games in games he appeared in during his three-season stretch with New York. During that same stretch, the Vikings won 31 games.)

Per Spotrac, Ellison made more than $18 million throughout his NFL career.
