Veteran wide receiver Greg Jennings announced his retirement from the NFL via a YouTube video posted on Monday.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Greg Jennings celebrates a touchdown against the Miami Dolphins.

“I have some news to share with you guys: football is over,” Jennings said. “I am done. No more big hits. No more, ‘Touchdown Greg Jennings.’ I am done and I’m excited to be done.

“The last 20 years of my life has been all football. Today, that all changes.”

Jennings played 10 seasons in the NFL with stops in Green Bay, Minnesota and Miami. He won a Super Bowl XLV with the Packers in February 2011, catching two touchdown passes from Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay’s 31-25 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

He played last season with the Dolphins and was a free agent.

“Physically, I know I can do it. I can still play,” Jennings said. “I’m in shape. I’ve been training hard. I feel as though I would be going back to football versus moving forward.”

Jennings compiled 8,291 receiving yards in his NFL career with 64 touchdowns.
