Cowboys’ former player announces retirement with a hilarious quote

Some NFL fans may not be familiar with Bo Scarbrough, but others may now be. On Friday, Scarbrough, who was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL Draft, formally declared his retirement from the game and shared an iconic quotation. You are free to adore this game indefinitely. However, since the game is only a ball and not a person, it can’t truly love you back, Scarbrough stated in a press release from the United Football League. “I’m incredibly respectful of those who continue to play.” Additionally, you will be able to tell when it is your time.

Even though he won two national championships during his successful college career at Alabama, Scarbrough was never able to establish himself in the NFL. He was cut by the Cowboys shortly before the 2018 campaign started, and he continued to play in other leagues. Scarbrough played for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Seattle Seahawks (twice), Detroit Lions, and Las Vegas Raiders after leaving Dallas. Averaging 4.3 yards per carry, Scarbrough rushed for 408 yards and a score in seven regular-season games—six with Detroit and one with Seattle. After playing in the NFL, Scarbrough went back to his native Alabama to play for the Birmingham Stallions of the United States Football League. After that, he assisted the Stallions in winning consecutive USFL championships, but he had to cope with injuries.
After the USFL and XFL merged, the Stallions then re-acquired Scarbrough in the seventh round of the UFL dispersal draft. Related: Culture Shock for s: Cowboy”Zen” vs. “Zoo”? UFL Head of Football Operations Daryl Johnston stated, “We were privileged to have Bo as a part of our football family; he is a champion on and off the field.” He is a superb spokesperson for both his neighborhood and the state of Alabama. We hope he has the best retirement possible and are confident that he will use his love of the game to his advantage in the next phase of his life.
