2 years agoFree-agent defensive end Derek Wolfe has officially announced his retirement from professional football after 10 successful years in the league. Wolfe was originally the 36th overall pick by the Denver Broncos in the 2012 draft out of the University of Cincinnati, and he recorded 40 tackles (nine for loss) and six sacks in his rookie season. In his eight seasons in Denver, Wolfe was a key player along their defensive line during their stretch of Super Bowl contention. He won Super Bowl 50 over the Carolina Panthers and was part of one of the best defenses of all time during that season. The 32-year-old never appeared in fewer than 11 games, but he battled injuries towards the end of his Broncos tenure and was on Injured Reserve in 2017 and 2019.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
