We have another significant retirement in the National Football League as New England Patriots Safety, Devin McCourty, has announced his retirement from the NFL after a 12-year career. He made the announcement on an Instagram post.
From Rutgers, the Pats used their 2010 First Round Pick (27th Overall) to select McCourty, who never played for another pro team. Winning three Super Bowls in New England, McCourty dressed in 205 Games (5th in team history), recorded 35 Interceptions (3rd in team history), and amassed 982 Tackles.
Originally playing at Cornerback, McCourty switched to Safety and was named a team captain as early as his second year. A beloved teammate and community leader, McCourty was a two-time Pro Bowl Selection, and was twice a Second Team All-Pro.
McCourty is eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2028, though is unlikely to enter. In our pre-2022 NFL HOF Active Monitor, McCourty was ranked #108 Overall and #7 among Safeties. Canton may not come calling, but his resume of worthy of a spot in the New England Patriots Hall of Fame.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to wish Devin McCourty the best in his post-playing career.
