Maurkice and Mike Pouncey announce retirement from NFL

Pittsburgh Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey and Los Angeles Chargers center Mike Pouncey are retiring from the NFL. 

The twin brothers, who are 31 years old, made the announcement through Maurkice's former teammate and ex-Steelers guard Ramon Foster.

Both brothers spent over a decade in the league and combined for 13 Pro Bowls. Maurkice spent his entire career with the Steelers after being selected in the first round of the 2010 draft. He's a nine-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro. 

Maurkice joins Vance McDonald and tight ends coach James Daniel as fellow Steelers to finish their career following the 2020 season. 

Mike spent most of his career with the Miami Dolphins before playing his final two seasons with the Chargers. The Dolphins selected him in the first round of the 2011 draft and he's a four-time Pro Bowler.
