New York Jets left tackle D’Brickashaw Ferguson, a former Pro Bowl player known for his remarkable durability, is retiring Friday at the age of 32, league sources told Rich Cimini of ESPN New York.
Ferguson, the fourth overall pick in 2006, has no known injury issues. Not only did he play every game in 10 seasons — 167 consecutive starts, including playoffs — but he also never missed a practice and never appeared on an injury report.
In fact, Ferguson missed only one offensive snap in 10 years, and that was a trick play when the entire offensive line was removed.
Ferguson couldn’t be reached for comment, but sources say he has decided to retire because he no longer feels he can play up to his usual standard.
