NFL Players That Just Retired That You Thought Already Retired

     Every year, there's a list of NFL players that have officially retired. Some of those people on that list always feel like they are super old and names you haven't heard of in a long time. Here is the list for this year:
— LB CJ Mosleyffew
— QB Derek Carr
— WR Julio Jones
— CB Patrick Peterson
— G Zack Martin
— C Frank Ragnow
— OT Tyron Smith
— OT Terron Armstead
— OT Ryan Ramczyk
— OT Jason Peters
— DE Brandon Graham
— DE Sam Hubbard
— C David Andrews
— S Micah Hyde
— K Mason Crosby
— C Mitch Morse
— DT Michael Pierce
— LB/S Keanu Neal
— DE John Cominsky
— QB Jordan Travis
— WR Chris Conley

    Let's start with obvious one, Julio Jones. If you would have told me that Julio retired 4 years ago, I would have believed you. Last I remember, he just signed with the Titans. That is where receivers go to die, but I had no clue he was still playing. Was he on the Titans the entire time?

    Same argument goes for Mason Crosby. I thought Crosby got cut on the Packers in 2018. Was he on a different team this entire time? Was he still decent?

    Micah Hyde and Chris Conley are also names that I was surprised to see on this list. In my head I have always just thought that they were both still in their prime and are 28-31 years old. People don't talk about these two guys enough. You could make the argument that both Hyde and Conley were the first players to help break their teams out of a rebuild and into their perspective dynasties.

    The last thing I will go over is Jordan Travis. Any time I hear his name I will always bring up how Florida State was robbed. There was no reason to remove them from the college football playoff. There is so many examples of teams in the past having their QB injured and actually still winning the championship. Look at Ohio State when they won the championship with Cardale Jones. Even this past playoff with Texas and Quinn Ewers, but Texas wasn't kicked out of the playoff because their QB was injured, just Florida State that one year.
