TAMPA, Fla. — Six-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Gerald McCoy announced his retirement from the NFL Friday via social media.
McCoy shared a video montage of highlights from his 11-season NFL career, predominantly his draft day, followed by him hanging up a cape with his last name and No. 93 on it, along with a pair of red cleats. The video ends with the words, “THANK YOU” over a Batman logo with McCoy’s number at the center.
McCoy, an avid fan of comic-book superheroes, has a particular affinity for Batman, saying in 2019 that he always considered himself “a Batman-type player.”
