New Orleans Saints right tackle Ryan Ramczyk announced his retirement on social media Thursday night.
Ramczyk, 30, started 101 games over seven seasons before sitting out the 2024 campaign with a chronic knee injury.
The 2017 first-round pick made three straight All-Pro teams from 2018-20, with a first-team nod in 2019.
“What an incredible journey it’s been,” Ramczyk wrote on his Instagram account. “My path to the NFL wasn’t a straight line, it wasn’t the story most people expect. There were moments when people doubted me, moments when I doubted myself. It’s funny how life works out. Sometimes the road less traveled leads to places you never expected, but it ends up being exactly where you were meant to be.”
Ramczyk played his final game on Dec. 10, 2023, before finishing that season on injured reserve with a cartilage defect in his right knee.
The NFL announced Thursday that Ramczyk will be in Green Bay on April 25 to announce the Saints’ Day 2 draft picks.
