Baltimore Ravens' troubled linebacker Rolando McClain retires from the NFL aged just 23.

Linebacker Rolando McClain has announced his decision to retire from the NFL at the age of just 23.

McClain, who signed a one-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens just last month, has been involved with several arrests and is currently awaiting a court appearance in July.

"Rolando let me know that he plans to retire from the NFL," Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome told ESPN. "We have placed him on the Reserve/Retired list."

McClain was a first-round Draft pick for Oakland Raiders and he made 41 appearances before being released at the end of last season.
