Add former Tennessee Titans linebacker Derrick Morgan to the ever-growing list of NFL players who are retiring from the game at a young age.

The 30-year-old has announced his retirement from football, citing his desire to affect the world outside of the sport:

“My purpose in life is bigger than the game,” Morgan said, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN.com. “What football taught me was the power of influence. My goal is to create better and more meaningful opportunities for marginalized communities to break the cycles of generational poverty and build greater wealth and economic mobility. I feel a deep responsibility to leverage my platform for this.”

Morgan spent his entire nine-year career with the Titans, and this past year, he played in 13 games and registered 25 tackles and a fumble recovery.

The Lancaster, Pa. native, who played his collegiate football at Georgia Tech, was originally selected by Tennessee in the first round (16th pick overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft.

He appeared in just four contests during his rookie year, but the following season, Morgan participated in 15 games, totaling 30 tackles and 2.5 sacks. He then had a breakout year of sorts in 2012, starting all 16 games and recording 59 tackles, 6.5 sacks, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and six passes defended.

Morgan would go on to become one of the most consistent players on the Titans defense, and while he never made a Pro Bowl, he was certainly impactful, with his highest sack total coming in 2016 when he got to the quarterback nine times.

Morgan ends his career with 44.5 sacks.
