Maurice Jones-Drew, one of the most productive pro running backs during his prime despite his small stature, has retired from the NFL.
Jones-Drew, who turns 30 this month, announced his retirement Thursday on Twitter.
He wrote, “All good things come to an end!!!” with a longer message contained in the tweet.
Jones-Drew is known for his eight seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He signed a three-year, $7.5 million deal with Oakland last year. He began the season as the Raiders’ starter but broke his hand in Game 1, could not regain his starting job and was buried on the depth chart as the season progressed. Jones-Drew, a Bay Area native, had just 96 yards rushing in what was his final NFL season.
