ET80 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 https://www.instagram.com/tv/CcBHnw8uh56/?utm_medium=copy_link The former Texans LB announced his retirement on Instagram today. The 26th pick of the 2012 NFL draft, Mercilius amassed 345 tackles, 57 sacks and 11 turnovers over a 10 year stint in Houston. Mercilus was cut last season and finished up his career in Green Bay, where he only played five games (recorded a sack while a Packer). His skill was inconsistent - he had his best year in 2015, with 52 tackles and 12 sacks - but you can’t question his personality and willingness to play to what the team needed, and the leadership mantle he took on in his time in Houston. Whitney Mercilus is truly one of the good guys in the NFL. Good to see him call it a day, I’m happy for the guy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 He had a really good career. Couple of Pro Bowls, an All Pro. His downfall really wasn't his fault. It was that ridiculous contract BOB gave him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
