On July 15, former Nebraska Cornhuskers offensive lineman Richie Incognito announced his retirement from the NFL.
Incognito wrote a personal letter about his decision.
“While I wouldn’t change those long hours in the gym and on the field, I’m excited for the wide-open ventures ahead of me,” Incognito wrote via Raiders.com. “Take a vacation when I want. Go back to school to get my MBA. Spend more time with my family and friends.”
Incognito spent three years with the Cornhuskers (2001-2003). He was a second-team All-Big 12 selection in 2003.
However, he faced multiple team suspensions. After being suspended indefinitely in 2004, he transferred to Oregon.
Incognito played 13 seasons in the NFL. He played a total of 164 games, and he was a four-time Pro Bowl selection.
