Panthers RB Rashaad Penny retiring from NFL after six seasons

[utlom]

Running back Rashaad Penny is retiring from the NFL after six seasons. The Panthers placed Penny on the reserve/retired list Tuesday and signed undrafted rookie wide receiver Tayvion Robinson in a corresponding move. Penny, 28, signed with the Panthers in May, reuniting him with coach Dave Canales. He had his best season with the Seattle Seahawks in 2021 when Canales was the passing game coordinator and new Carolina offensive coordinator Brad Idzik was an offensive assistant. He rushed 119 times for 749 yards and six touchdowns. Penny, 28, played last season for the Philadelphia Eagles, but he appeared in just three games and rushed 11 times for 33 yards. Selected by the Seattle Seahawks in the first round (27th overall) of the 2018 draft, he has rushed for 1,951 yards and 13 touchdowns in his career.

Wow, it’s surprising to hear that Rashaad Penny is retiring at just 28! He had some impressive moments in his career, especially that standout season with the Seahawks in 2021. It must be tough for him after facing injuries last season with the Eagles. It’ll be interesting to see how he transitions to life after football, but he definitely made a mark during his time in the league! Wishing him all the best in his next chapter!

Wow, hard to believe Rashaad Penny's calling it quits after six seasons, especially with that epic 2021 season under Canales—big shoes to fill for sure! Props to the Panthers for snagging Tayvion Robinson though.
