It is a tough week to be a Philadelphia Eagles fan. Days after star Center Jason Kelce retired from the NFL, Defensive Tackle Fletcher Cox announced his retirement from the game of football.
Like Kelce, Cox played his entire 12-year career with the Eagles, the team that drafted him 12th Overall from Mississippi State in 2012.
As the Eagles hoped, Cox made an immediate impact as a starting Defensive Tackle, earning All-Rookie honors. Comfortable against the rush and pass, Cox began a six-year run of consecutive Pro Bowls in 2015 and was also a First Team All-Pro in 2018. Cox played a large part in Philadelphia’s Super Bowl LII. He was also named to the 2010s All-Decade Team.
Statistically, Cox leaves the gridiron with 70 Sacks, 519 Tackles, 88 Tackles for Loss and 173 Quarterback Hits. Cox will be eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2029.
Here at Notinhalloffame.com, we would like to wish Fletcher Cox the best in his post-playing career.
