Ronald Darby informed the Houston Texans that he’ll be walking away from the game after ten NFL seasons. Darby played college football for the Florida State Seminoles and was selected by the Buffalo Bills in the second round of the 2015 NFL draft.
Darby, who the Jaguars released in March, had signed with the Texans and was coming off an overall productive season after signing a two-year, $10 million contract last March. He started 12 games and collected 46 tackles, three tackles for loss, and nine pass breakups.
Over his 10 NFL seasons, Darby started 107 games, logging eight interceptions, 106 pass breakups, and 447 total tackles during stints with Buffalo, Philadelphia, Washington, Denver, and Baltimore before joining Jacksonville.
Darby started at cornerback for Philadelphia in Super Bowl LII and had four solo tackles and two pass deflections as the Eagles defeated the New England Patriots 41–33. After leaving Philadelphia, Darby signed a one-year, $4 million prove-it deal to play for his hometown team.
