Fullback Zach Line was set to become an unrestricted free agent in March, and looked like an easy decision to be in the plans for the 2020 New Orleans Saints. However, he's chosen to retire at age 29. Line took to his personal Instagram and Twitter accounts on Tuesday afternoon to announce that he was walking away from football.
Line said in a very lengthy post, "As I look back on the last seven seasons in the NFL I cannot help but to feel extremely proud. I have never bragged about my accomplishments, but knowing the odds and ignoring them, and choosing to instead believe in myself, my faith, and the support of my loving wife and family is something I am proud of. The decision to retire is NOT easy, which is true for most competitors. This decision is something I have prayed about and communicated with those that I love."
