The NFL won’t feel the same next season will the faces that have become so familiar with us hanging up their cleats and watching the games at home on their TVs like the rest of us. The NLF has not only seen the highest number of retirements amongst young players in it’s history, but arguably the greatest class of retirees ever.
The team that you could form just from all the players who decided to call it quits this offseason would blow any NFL team in history out of the water. Hell, this team could even form back together as the leagues 33rd squad and likely make the playoffs. The 22 man roster would have racked up nearly 70 Pro Bowl appearances (ESPN).
