Tampa Bay Buccaneers Pro Bowl guard Ali Marpet retires at age 28 (ESPN)

Buccaneers guard Ali Marpet, who was selected to his first Pro Bowl last season, has announced his retirement after seven seasons at the age of 28.

Ali has a very strong inner voice, and he is courageous enough to follow it. From 2018 to 2021, Marpet registered a 93.7% pass block win rate, which ranked ninth in the league among guards, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. "I can't say enough about what Ali has meant to our team over the three seasons since my arrival. "After seven formidable years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, I've come to the decision to retire from the game that has given me so much," he wrote in his post. A second-round draft pick out of Hobart College in 2015, Marpet became the highest-drafted player (61st overall) in Division III history. I've made Tampa Bay my home and I look forward to serving this community in the coming years.

"He has been the consummate professional and has been a rock for us in the interior of our offensive line. After two seasons in that position, he was shifted to center in 2017 and excelled at that spot as well. In 2020, he and the Buccaneers followed an 11-5 regular season by storming all the way from the fifth NFC seed to the championship, winning three straight postseason road games before blowing out the Kansas City Chiefs, 31-9, in Super Bowl LV. Tampa Bay's offense ranked second in passing yards and third in scoring and posted the league's second-best sacks-allowed-per-pass play rate. Overall, Marpet played in 101 games over his seven seasons, starting all of them. "I can't say enough about what Ali has meant to our team over the three seasons since my arrival," wrote Head Coach Bruce Arians, who took over as the Buccaneers head coach in 2019, Marpet's fifth season. Tampa Bay Buccaneers guard Ali Marpet ended his playing career abruptly on Sunday, informing the team of his decision to retire after seven NFL seasons.
