Jurrell Casey was a problem for opposing offensive lines for a decade in the NFL. After 10 years in the league, 9 with the Tennessee Titans, Casey is hanging up the cleats after announcing his retirement.

Casey was emotional as he reflected on his career which was largely spent with the Titans, per the team's website.

“My career, it was amazing, just to have the opportunity to play this game. It was beautiful,” Casey said with a smile. “I always tried to play to the best of my ability, and always considered it an honor.”

“To be able to get drafted by Tennessee, and to be able to live out a lifetime dream is everything a young man from Long Beach, California could dream of. All the relationships that I made along the way, we had a brotherhood. And Tennessee, it was a great place to call home for me and my family.”

Casey was a 5-time Pro Bowl selection with the Titans and was one of the most durable defensive lineman in the game throughout his career. Casey started 140 of his 142 career games and never missed more than two games in any of his 9 years with Tennessee.

His name was brought up early and often this offseason as he hit free agency after playing with the Denver Broncos in 2020 but he remained unsigned following training camp and then the preseason.

It was an incredible career for Casey and he will go down as one of the greats to ever do it on the defensive line for the Tennessee Titans.
