Rashard Mendenhall retires from NFL

Why I Retired At 26
I decided not to hold a press conference because I didn't want to have to say things that were cliche. I've done enough of that since I've been playing football. I actually didn't really plan on saying anything about my retirement at all. I just kind of wanted to disappear.
