Former Ohio State wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. announced on Friday evening that he is retiring after 14 years in the NFL.
“I’ve dedicated my entire life to football until now,” Ginn said during a press conference at Cleveland Glenville High School. “I’m going out in peace. On my own terms, not forced out.”
The 36-year-old Ginn caught 412 passes for 5,742 yards and 33 touchdowns during his professional career, which included appearances in Super Bowl XLVII and Super Bowl 50, though both were on the losing end.
The No. 9 overall pick of the Miami Dolphins in the 2007 NFL Draft, he also played for the San Francisco 49ers, Carolina Panthers, Arizona Cardinals, New Orleans Saints and Chicago Bears.
