In a stunning move, Tampa Bay Buccaneers left guard Ali Marpet announced on Instagram Sunday that he’s retiring.

The 28-year-old just had his first Pro Bowl season and is viewed as one of the Bucs’ best offensive linemen. ESPN cited a source as saying he made the decision due to concerns about his overall health.

Marpet spent all seven of his NFL seasons with Tampa Bay. His father told ESPN, “I think he accomplished his goals, values his health, is looking for more challenges.”
