After 14 seasons in the NFL, former Cleveland Browns draft pick and quarterback Colt McCoy has announced his retirement.
A third round pick of the Browns in 2010, McCoy spent his first three NFL seasons in Cleveland, starting in his rookie and sophomore seasons. While he was on the roster in 2012, McCoy lost the starting job to 28-year-old rookie Brandon Weeden and appeared in just three games.
He then spent a season with the San Francisco 49ers before heading to Washington, where he spot-started seven games in five seasons. After his half-decade in DC as the backup quarterback, McCoy then spent a year with the New York Giants before wrapping up his NFL career with the Arizona Cardinals.
McCoy will not be sailing off into the sunset, however, as he already has his next gig secured. The former Browns quarterback will join NBC Sports as one of their Big Ten broadcasters this upcoming season.
