Darren Sproles: Eagles' Darren Sproles to retire from NFL after 15-year career

Darren Sproles has played his last NFL game, as the injured running back will retire from football at the end of the season, the Eagles announced on Saturday via the team’s website and on social media.

Sproles said he’s “at peace” with his decision to retire, even though it’s “been hard” to spend a month on Injured Reserve, both for him and his family.

Sproles spends an early paragraph thanking Eagles fans in particular for their support over his six seasons in Philadelphia:”To Eagles fans everywhere, I want to thank you for the way you supported me every single day.

Still, Sproles had a tremendous, memorable, fascinating career in football.

He was a threat in the run game, the pass game, and the punt return game for more than a decade.
