After seven seasons with three different teams, Carl Nassib, the first openly gay active NFL player, announced his retirement Wednesday.
He came out while with the Raiders in 2021 and spent last season in Tampa Bay on a second stint with the Bucs.
"This is a bittersweet moment for me," Nassib said on Instagram."Football has given me more than I could have ever imagined. … I feel like the luckiest guy on the planet." In both his post and when speaking to People, Nassib said he loved the competitive and perfectionistic nature of playing football and plans to take that mentality as he focuses on building his company.
Nassib also told People that he plans to keep supporting the Trevor Project, a nonprofit geared toward supporting health for young LGBTQ+ people, and he praised the way the NFL has supported both him and the Trevor Project since he came out. "They've supported me so much over the last two years, and I really couldn't have done it without that support," Nassib said."The NFL went out of their way to support me, to support the Trevor Project, and to show how the impact of how one person doing something for others can be compounded."
