Steelers' Maurkice Pouncey: Officially retiring

Pouncey announced he is retiring Friday, as per former teammate Ramon Foster's post on his official Twitter account.

The nine-time Pro Bowler is officially exiting the NFL after entering the league in 2010. Pouncey was a clear asset along the offensive line during his decorated career with the Steelers, annually serving as both an excellent pass protector and run blocker. The 31-year-old suffered multiple injuries throughout his time in the league, however, but he served as a starting center in all 134 career regular-season appearances.
