Davon House, a cornerback drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the fourth round of the 2011 draft, is retiring from the NFL after eight seasons.
House informed the team he wished to retire as a member of the Packers.
House, who turns 31 in July, played six seasons with the Packers and another two with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He produced seven interceptions, 54 pass breakups, three sacks and eight tackles for loss over 87 games and 46 starts.
The 131st overall pick in 2011, House played four seasons with the Packers – eventually as a key contributor in 2013 and 2014 – before signing a big deal in free agency with the Jaguars. He returned to Green Bay in 2017 and played another 15 games with the Packers over his final two seasons in the NFL.
House, who missed the final 13 games of the 2018 season after having shoulder surgery, went unsigned as an unrestricted free agent last offseason and didn’t play in the NFL in 2019.
House’s final interception in the NFL was of Drew Brees during a loss at Lambeau Field in 2017.
House’s most productive season as a pro came with the Jaguars in 2015. He intercepted a career-high four passes and broke up a career-high 23 over 16 games.
House played in three playoff games with the Packers during the 2013 and 2014 seasons.
