As any Denver Broncos fan knows, safety John Lynch has had one hell of a career in the NFL for both the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Denver Broncos.
With nine Pro Bowls, 1,277 tackles, 26 interceptions and winning a Super Bowl in 2002 with the Bucs, Lynch is almost certainly a guaranteed first ballot NFL hall of famer.
Once former coach Mike Shanahan heard of Lynch's retirement he had this to say about his former star safety:
"Just everything you'd want in a player," Shanahan said Friday. "He set an example on how to be a pro."
Broncos current Pro Bowl cornerback Champ Bailey had this to say about his former teammate:
"John was one of the most intense players I have ever played with," Bailey said. "It was an honor and a pleasure to play four years with John Lynch. I learned a lot from him."
Obviously Lynch has left his impression where ever he has been during his 15 year NFL football career and will be regarded as one of the best defensive players ever to play the game.
John Lynch will officially announce his retirement from the NFL on Monday in Tampa, Florida.
