Chad Henne is going out on top.
The Chiefs backup quarterback posted a picture to social media, celebratory beer in hand, after Kansas City’s 38-35 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII and captioned it with a retirement announcement.
“Calling it a career,” Henne, 37, wrote. “Capping it off with a Bud Light and another ring.”
In Kansas City, Henne won two Super Bowl rings — the same as Hall of Fame members Bart Starr, Roger Staubach, John Elway, and Peyton Manning.
The Dolphins selected Henne with the 57th overall pick of the 2008 NFL Draft. He spent four seasons in Miami, followed by six with the Jacksonville Jaguars and five backing up Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City.
In 78 career games, Henne had an 18-36 record as a starter. He completed 59.6 percent of his passes for 13,290 yards, with 60 touchdown passes and 63 interceptions.
He came up big in the AFC divisional game against the Jacksonville Jaguars when Mahomes went out with a high-ankle sprain. Starting at the Kansas City 2-yard-line, Henne engineered a touchdown drive that culminated in a touchdown pass to tight end Travis Kelce.
He had $38.6 million in career earnings.
