A former pass-catcher for the Houston Texans called it a career after 12 seasons in the league.

Per a statement posted to his Instagram, veteran wide receiver Robert Woods has announced his retirement from the NFL.

“After 27 unforgettable years of pouring my heart into this game, and 13 incredible years in the
NFL – It’s time for me to step away from playing the sport that has given me everything,” Woods wrote, “Football has never just been a game to me – it has been my passion, my purpose, and my lifelong dream. I cherished every moment my cleats touched the grass. Every time I stepped onto the field, I was determined to leave a piece of myself in every snap.”
