We have another significant retirement in the NFL, as it has been revealed that Defensive Back Patrick Peterson will be retiring on Monday.
A superstar at LSU, Peterson won the 2010 Chuck Bednarik Award, the Jim Thorpe Award, and the Jack Tatum Award, which vaulted him to the number five pick overall in the following draft. The Arizona Cardinals were the fortunate organization to land Peterson, who brought a sweet blend of size, speed, and football IQ, which made him one of the most versatile Defensive Backs of the 2010s.
Peterson wasted no time in establishing himself in the NFL. A starting Cornerback from day one, Peterson began his career with eight straight Pro Bowls, earning three First Team All-Pros along the way. The former LSU Tiger was so dominant in the 2010s that he was selected to the 2010s All-Decade Team. He finished his career with two years in Minnesota and one in Pittsburgh and compiled 36 Interceptions and 652 Combined Tackles.
Peterson last played in 2023, which makes him eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2029, and in our pre-2024 Notinhalloffame Football monitor, he was ranked #13.
We here at notinhalloffame.com would wish Patrick Peterson the best in his post-playing career.
