Veteran NFL Running Back Latavius Murray Announces Retirement

Veteran NFL running back Latavius Murray announced his retirement after a decade-long career spanning six teams, including the Raiders, Vikings, Saints, Ravens, Broncos, and Bills. Drafted in the sixth round in 2013, Murray earned a Pro Bowl nod in 2015 after rushing for 1,066 yards that season and became known as a reliable and versatile back, finishing his career with 6,552 rushing yards, 59 touchdowns, and 239 receptions. Murray's leadership and professionalism were praised by teammates, notably Buffalo Bills rookie Ray Davis, who credited Murray for his mentorship during the 2023 season. Despite primarily serving as a backup in later years, Murray remained productive, surpassing 700 rushing yards in 2022 and playing a key role in the Bills' AFC Championship run in the 2023-24 season. His career highlights include being the last Broncos running back to rush for 100 yards in a game and his induction into the UCF Athletics Hall of Fame. Murray retires as one of the NFL's most respected and durable running backs, leaving a lasting impact both on and off the field.
