RB Duke Johnson, who spent eight seasons in the NFL, retired on Sunday.

The Cleveland Browns selected him in the third round of the 2015 draft after he set a record as the University of Miami”s all-time leading rusher. Throughout his career, he played for four NFL teams, last appearing in 2022 with the Buffalo Bills.

He wrote on Instagram: “8 Years 4 teams with 1 goal in mind, create a better life for my family… I never dreamed of being the all time leading rusher of my dream school or being somewhere on the list of all time players to come out of South FL. I just wanted an opportunity to play a game to provide a better life for my family and I was able to do just that. I want to thank each team for giving me the chance to play and represent your organization and all the fans that supported me through the highs and lows.”
