After a career that spanned 10 years, seven teams and included a Super Bowl 52 championship, cornerback Ronald Darby is retiring.

ESPN reported Monday that Darby had informed the Houston Texans of his decision. At the time of writing, neither Darby nor the team have confirmed the news.

The Buffalo Bills drafted Darby out of Florida State, where he won the 2013 BCS National Championship, with their second-round pick in 2015. He finished as the runner-up to then-Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters for the Defensive Rookie of the Year award and played for the Bills for one more season.

In August 2017, Buffalo traded him to the Philadelphia Eagles, where he won a Super Bowl in his first season with the team.

After his rookie contract expired following the 2018 season, Darby played one more year for the Eagles, then had short stints – between one to two years – with four more teams: the Washington Football Team, Denver Broncos, Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Jaguars released Darby in March of this year, and he went on to sign with the Texans, his seventh team, before deciding to call it a career.
