Pouncey brothers retire

jeff57 : 2/13/2021 6:38 am
Maurkice was drafted No. 18 overall by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2010 draft, while Mike went 15th overall to the Miami Dolphins the following year. The two were instantly full-time starters for their teams, primarily at center, though Mike spent a season at right guard in Miami.

"We began this journey at 6 years old and now at 31 we will close this chapter of our lives as I announce my retirement from the @nfl and walk away from the game," Mike Pouncey said in a statement provided by Foster.

Now does that mean Ben Roethlisberger goes too? Didn't Mike and he have a pact to walk off together?

10 years is not "short" by any means.

I thought a top offensive lineman would play a lot longer
some O Linemen play longer but

but they started at 6. HS and college - + 10 years, in the trenches - that's a long time

Hell of a career for both of them. I wonder if Maurkice ends up in Canton?
Two of Urban Meyers finest

He should. 9x pro bowl. 2x all pro and part of the all decade team. Only thing is he didn’t win a ring. If he won one he would be lock. As it stands, IMO, he deserves to get in to the hall
Those guys took a beating in the trenches

This is a smart move for their quality of life. Good for them.
Look out Milledgeville.
