""After 10+ years in the NFL, my playing chapter is closing," Sanu wrote on X. "Grateful for every coach, teammate & fan. Excited to give back through coaching & share the game in a new way with the podcast. The Journey continues.""
"Sanu last played a regular season game in 2021, and he very briefly spent time with the Dolphins the following summer. Given the time which has elapsed since, today's announcement is certainly an unexpected one. Nevertheless, it marks an end to the 36-year-old's career as a player."
"Selected in third round of the 2012 draft, Sanu played out his rookie contract with the Bengals. He established himself as a starting-caliber receiver during that period, something which remained the case during his Falcons tenure (2016-19). In the 2018 campaign, Sanu set a new personal mark with 838 receiving yards; that season also marked the only time one of his eight career pass attempts (four of which resulted in a touchdown) fell incomplete."
Mohamed Sanu has retired from the NFL after more than ten seasons and will turn his attention to coaching and hosting a podcast. He last appeared in a regular-season game in 2021 and spent a brief summer with the Miami Dolphins in 2022 before being released. Sanu was a third-round pick in 2012 who became a starting-caliber receiver with the Bengals and Falcons, peaking with 838 receiving yards in 2018. He later had stints with New England, San Francisco and Detroit, saw his role diminish, and finished with 145 combined games and nearly $32 million in career earnings.
