There will be no 14th NFL campaign for Robert Woods.
The veteran wide receiver announced his retirement on Tuesday at the age of 33. Woods was a member of the Los Angeles Rams team that won Super Bowl LVI.
“After 27 unforgettable years of pouring my heart into this game, and 13 incredible years in the NFL - It’s time for me to step away from playing the sport that has given me everything,” Woods wrote. “Football has never just been a game to me it has been my passion, my purpose, and my lifelong dream. I cherished every moment my cleats touched the grass. Every time I stepped onto the field, I was determined to leave a piece of myself in every snap.”
A native of Gardena, CA, Woods was originally taken with the 41st overall selection of the 2013 NFL Draft out of Southern California by the Buffalo Bills. He would go on to appear in 171 career games with the Bills, Rams, Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans. Woods finishes his career with 683 receptions for 8,233 yards and 38 touchdowns. He added 514 more yards and five more TDs on the ground.
