Ted Ginn Jr. Announces His Retirement
3 years agoWide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. announced his retirement from the NFL on Friday after becoming the ninth overall pick in the 2007 draft and playing 14 seasons. The 36-year-old pass-catcher caught 33 touchdowns, ran for two more and also had seven return touchdowns. Ginn had elite speed and was a three-time All-American at Ohio State before he was a first-round pick by the Miami Dolphins. He also finished his career with 5,742 receiving yards, although he never really reached the expectations as a receiver drafted early in the first round. Ginn failed to make a single Pro Bowl in his time in the NFL, and he bounced around the league after leaving the Dolphins to join the San Francisco 49ers in 2010. His best years came with the Carolina Panthers in three seasons, where he caught 134 passes for 2,047 yards and 19 touchdowns.
