British defensive end Jack Crawford announces NFL retirement after 10-year career

British NFL star Jack Crawford officially announced his retirement today, bringing an end to one of this country’s finest American football exports to the United States.

After attending Penn State, Crawford entered the league when he was selected by the Oakland Raiders in the fifth round of the 2012 NFL Draft. The London-born defensive end went on to play for the iconic Dallas Cowboys, Atlanta Falcons, and Tennessee Titans.

Crawford signed with the Arizona Cardinals ahead of the 2021 season, but physical setbacks ensured he was placed on Injured Reserve prior to the opening game of the season. While the 33-year-old admitted making the decision to retire amid a bout of injuries was difficult, he has found his peace with it.
