Former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Breiden Fehoko has retired from the NFL at age 29 after deciding he would not receive a fair opportunity with the team.
Fehoko described the turning point during a joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last year. He said he dominated one-on-one drills despite joining the team late and without a contract, yet received limited game time until the fourth quarter of the ensuing preseason matchup. Two days later the Steelers released him before their final preseason game.
