Brandon Stokley retires after 15 seasons in NFL

Brandon Stokley has announced that he is retiring after spending 15 seasons playing in the NFL.

The Baltimore Ravens wide receiver was placed on injured reserve with a concussion earlier this month.

The 37-year-old told the Denver Post: "I'm glad I played this year because now I know I'm done. Had I not played this year, I would have always felt I could have kept playing. I still know I can play, but my body just can't go through it anymore.

"If in 30 years I'm feeling fine and I would have stopped playing football four or five years ago, it would have been 'Why did I stop?' You can't predict the future. So I was all in with football until I knew it was time for me to stop playing."

The two-time Super Bowl winner played in six games in his final year in the league, recording 115 receiving yards.
