Just last week, Rashaad Penny said that he’s a top running back in the NFL when he’s healthy.
Now, he’s calling it quites.
Penny is retiring at the age of 28, with the Panthers placing him on the reserve/retired list Tuesday morning.
Injuries derailed Penny’s career after he was taken No. 27 overall by the Seahawks in the 2018 NFL Draft out of San Diego State, appearing in 42 games across five seasons for Seattle.
New Panthers head coach Dave Canales was a member of Seattle’s offensive coaching staff during those five years.
Penny showed flashes in 2021 of a potential breakout when he ran for 749 yards and six touchdowns on 119 carries in 10 games.
His 2022 season ended in Week 5 when he broke his fibula.
He signed a one-year deal with the Eagles last season but played in only three games, rushing 11 times for 33 yards.
Penny then joined Carolina in May but has decided to hang up his cleats.
“I’ve always believed in myself, knowing my capabilities,” Penny told the Charlotte Observer in an article published on Friday. “I think everybody else knows that when I’m healthy, I’m probably, like, a top running back in the league. I know my place. I know what I can do. So I just keep striving from there.”
Penny’s path to playing time was unclear as the Panthers have rookie Jonathan Brooks, who’s recovering from a torn ACL, Chuba Hubbard and Miles Sanders.
