Pro Bowl offensive lineman Andrus Peat announced his retirement in a social media post Friday.
Peat, 32, played in the NFL for 11 seasons after being selected with the No. 13 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft out of Stanford by the New Orleans Saints.
“11 years in the league, I gave it everything I had. I may be walking away from football, but not from the lessons it taught me. Thank you to my coaches, teammates, and especially my brothers in the trenches. I’m grateful beyond words that I was able to live out this dream,” Peat wrote in his caption on Instagram.

Peat spent the first nine seasons of his career with the Saints, primarily as their starting left guard. He made the Pro Bowl in three consecutive seasons, from 2018 to 2020.
Peat was a key part of the Saints’ offensive line when the team won four straight NFC South titles from 2017 to 2020.

After one season with the Raiders, he joined the Pittsburgh Steelers in a similar backup role, appearing in six games and starting three.
Peat’s wife, Ashley, posted a touching comment under his post.
“We are SO proud of you baby!!!! Thank you for everything you sacrificed and worked so hard to provide for us all these years. Can’t wait to enjoy this next chapter with you,” she wrote with three heart emojis.
