TecmoSuperJoe Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) What players had a stellar career, had a stellar final season, and left the game still looking like they could play at a high level? For example, Roger Staubach, Barry Sanders, Tiki Barber, Andrew Luck, Robert Smith, Luke Kuechly etc. Edited November 10, 2022 by TecmoSuperJoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Michael Strahan? Can't get much better than going out like that, Superbowl, still had 11 sacks on the final season 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) Bah I forgot one of my favorite receivers ever in Jimmy Smith. Also Bruce Matthews, and Mike Munchak. Edited November 10, 2022 by TecmoSuperJoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired after winning the Super Bowl. He was just inducted into the Colts Ring of Honor like a week ago. Great career.

TitanSlim Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Calvin Johnson is kinda an obvious one. 88 rec/1214 yds/9 TDs in his last year including having 10/137/1 in his last career game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerbertGOAT Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I think it would've been Brady if he had retired after 2020 or 2021. As it stands, probably Ray Lewis, Barry Sanders, Calvin Johnson, or Michael Strahan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWil23 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Didn't Robert Smith win the rushing title in his last ever year? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Smith_(running_back)#:~:text=Smith's finest year as a,touchdowns%2C and only nine fumbles. Quote Smith's finest year as a pro came in 2000 at age 28, leading the NFC in rushing with 1,521 yards; despite being at the peak of his career, he retired after the season. In eight NFL seasons, Smith rushed for 6,818 yards and 32 touchdowns, along with 178 receptions for 1,292 yards and 6 touchdowns, and only nine fumbles. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
