Daniel Fells announces his retirement

Daniel Fells announces his retirement.

After a long struggle with an MRSA infection of the ankle, treatments including multiple surgeries and IV antibiotics to clear the infection, TE Daniel Fells announced his retirement on Instagram last night.

This picture of me and my baby girl was taken a little over a year ago at Quest Diagnostic. I wish I was heading into battle with my brothers as Training Camp starts up this week but I also believe that everything happens for a reason. Although playing the game is no longer in the cards for me I’m grateful for the 10 year career that I was blessed to experience. Thank you all for the phone calls, text messages, emails and well wishes that I’ve gotten over the last few months. I’m working hard to accept my physical limitations and the mental struggles that go along with them. I know that I’m lucky to be alive so I’m determined to make the most of everyday that I have. Looking forward to cheering for my G-men and all of my former teammates on different teams around the nation this year #onceagiantalwaysagiant

Let’s all wish Daniel the best of Luck and Health and prosperity.

Once a Giant… Always a Giant!!
