NFL quarterback Chris Streveler retires at 31

NFL quarterback Chris Steveler, who made appearances in the league for the Arizona Cardinals and New York Jets during his career, announced his retirement on Monday at age 31.

Streveler made the announcement in a video on his Instagram.

“I love football, but today is my last day as a football player,” he said, via the New York Post. “This game has given me opportunities beyond my wildest dreams. This game has challenged me with obstacles I thought I’d never overcome.

“This game has forged lifelong bonds with people I would have never met otherwise. I’ve been playing this game since I was 8 years old. Today, I’m 31.”

Streveler played college football at Minnesota and South Dakota before he took a chance and went to the NFL. He joined the Cardinals during the 2020 season.

He never made a start for the Cardinals. He was 17-of-25 for 141 yards and a touchdown in seven appearances. He joined the Miami Dolphins in 2022 but never played for them.

Streveler joined the Jets in 2022 after the Dolphins waived him. He was one of four Jets quarterbacks who got to start during that season. He made his first career start against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15 of that season.

He was 10-of-15 for 90 yards. New York lost the game, 23-6. The Jets would later waive Streveler before the 2023 season began.
