Stephen Neal retiring

[Triumph]

How many guys can say they never played college ball but have 3 super bowl rings?

 

[patsfan13]

Sad to see his ride end, hope he has a healthy happy post football career.

Scary good, bank on it. :rocker:

Someone is very optimistic

I like your optimism. Bartender, I'll have one of whatever he's having. :eat2:

One more time for old time sake:

HW Brock Lesnar vs. Stephen Neal - 1999 NCAA Final | Throwback Thursdays | Flowrestling

 

[Urgent]

Too bad.

When healthy, boy was he good. Physical, mobile, agile, accurate.

But he did get beat up playing the game.

Simply increases the need further.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

He was a huge part of our run and I wish him well.

That said, I'm glad he's finally calling it quits, it was obviously time to move on. Now let's go get Pouncey

 

[Fencer]

Another 2001 guy bites the dust, so to speak. Makes me melancholy.

I'm very appreciative of what Stephen brought to the team, and his story of wrestler to NFL is an amazing one. Good luck, sir.

Yep. Be healthy, man. Be healthy.

Very Well said !

Chalk another notch in Mankins and his agent's desire to get mega bucks

Every OL that goes puts Mankins further on top in the priority department

Brady should ditch the Jersey and Pants and wear a knight of shining armor...he's probably going to need it.

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

I would be giving Derrick Dockery a call if I were Belichick

Dockery has not been great the past couple of years but he provides 8 years of experience and depth

 

[Froob]

See yea neal, thanks for the memories. Brady & Light only two 01 pats if faulk retires too?

 

[DaBruinz]

Take Care, Stephen. You were a damn good OG and helped the running game succeed greatly.

 

[signbabybrady]

Lets see he beat Brock Lesner for a NCAA wresteling title.
He has 3 Super Bowl Rings.
and he is still in his mid 30's.

Whats next?

I heard he has decided to set his sights on beating Mine That Bird in the next derby.


Thanks for the memories. What will stand out most to me about his career was him pulling and running 30 yards up field to find someone to block.

Tremendous athlete, tremendous G and tremendous Patriot and champion. Thanks SN.

I'm sure he wrestled with this difficult decision.
Thanks for your years and may you retire in good health.

Thanks for the 3 SB's, brother. Good luck in all future endeavors. :rocker:
