Former Eagles Super Bowl Starter Ronald Darby Retires After 10 NFL Seasons

News summary

Ronald Darby, a former NFL cornerback and Florida State standout, has announced his retirement after a 10-year professional career. Darby was a key contributor to the Philadelphia Eagles' historic Super Bowl LII victory, starting in the game and helping secure the franchise's first championship. Drafted in the second round in 2015 by the Buffalo Bills, he played for six NFL teams, including the Eagles, Washington Commanders, Denver Broncos, Baltimore Ravens, Jacksonville Jaguars, and most recently, the Houston Texans. Throughout his career, Darby appeared in over 100 games, accumulating 447 tackles, 8 interceptions, and more than 100 pass deflections, earning nearly $40 million in earnings. Injury challenges and the natural decline in speed typical for defensive backs around age 30 influenced his decision to retire at 31. His retirement marks him as the third defensive starter from the Eagles’ Super Bowl LII team to step away this offseason, joining Brandon Graham and Rodney McLeod.
