It seems some of the NFL's better players in the league are retiring now. Sure, it happens often, but that's usually with players who couldn't quite make a career in the NFL. Now, the Houston Texans have lost a player to retirement.
On Sunday, we heard former Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller announce his retirement. Now, it seems to be a guy the Houston Texans had on their team the last few seasons
According to Aaron Wilson of KCPR2, the former Chiefs, Houston Texans, Philadelphia Eagles, and Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Steven Nelson is choosing to retire after a pretty good nine-year NFL career. Wilson also reported that the Texans were among the teams interested in Nelson.
“Retirement, after thinking it over and having some talks with my family, I think it’s time for me to take a step back and spend more time with my family,” Nelson said in a telephone interview with Wilson. “We’re expecting a newborn this coming month and I wanted to devote all of my time and energy to that and various business ventures off the field. I’m extremely proud of what I was able to do in the game of football.
“Coming from a small town without a lot of resources, having to go to junior college, making it out of there to go to Oregon State, which was across the country from my family, going through a lot of trials and tribulations to get to where I am today and to be able to persevere and make it this far. I’m extremely proud of my legacy and my career."
Nelson was drafted by the Chiefs in 2015 in the third round. Nelson finished with 456 tackles in his career. In the last two seasons with the Texans, Nelson finished with three interceptions in 30 games.
Nelson could have been a great depth and veteran piece for the Texans in 2024, as they are a very young secondary with guys like Kamarri Lassiter and Derek Stingley.
