    Rashard Mendenhall retires after only 6 seasons

    Running back Rashard Mendenhall retiring after six NFL seasons

    By Frank Schwab

    Six years was enough for Rashard Mendenhall.

    The Cardinals running back, who is better known for his time with the Steelers, wasn't a great back after tearing his ACL two years ago but he still could have collected more NFL checks. The Cardinals inexplicably gave him 217 carries last year, and some other team would have employed the free agent.


    But Mendenhall is done with football. At just 26 years old, after six NFL seasons, he is retiring according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.


    That seems sudden, but not too surprising. In a Huffington Post column on Feb. 25, Mendenhall hinted he was ready to retire. He talked about having a religious vision the day after tearing his ACL.

    Does this open up for a MJD signing in Arizona?

    Good for him. I hope he's happy, and healthy other than a slightly gimpy knee, and planned well enough financially to be able to enjoy his retirement.

    Recalling how old FJax is makes this even stranger.

    I wish I was as young as him, retired with a bank acc full of money. How much did you make in your NFL carreer?
    Political correctness ( or cancel culture as it is called today) is a doctrine fostered by a delusional ,illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by MSM which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    He was more successful in the NFL than Danny Batten was!

    I went to some of his games in college. I thought he'd be a good power back in the NFL but he could just never get it together. Oh well, he'll always have pittsburgh.
