Veteran guard Brandon Scherff<\/a>, a five-time Pro Bowl selection, has quietly retired from the NFL after 10 seasons.<\/p>\n

“It’s been something I could never dream of,” Scherff told the Iowa athletics website<\/a> in a story that was posted last week. “Sometimes I would tell my wife that she has to pinch me, because I’m playing a kid’s game, and being able to do it as a job is pretty amazing. Now, having kids and being able to see them after games is absolutely wonderful. So I would say it’s a dream come true. And I will be forever grateful to have had that chance.”<\/p>\n

Scherff, 33, is part of Iowa’s 2025 Hall of Fame Class and will be inducted later this month. He had been a free agent this offseason and NFL Network reported Thursday that teams interested in him had been told he was retiring.<\/p>\n

Scherff, who was taken with the fifth pick in the 2015 NFL draft, played his first seven seasons with the Washington<\/a> franchise, earning one first-team All-Pro nod (2020) and making five Pro Bowls.<\/p>\n

He spent the past three seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> after signing as a free agent in 2022.<\/p>\n

He never missed a start in his three seasons with Jacksonville despite dealing with multiple injuries, including one to his abdomen throughout the 2022 season.<\/p>\n

He appeared in 144 games, including the playoffs, during his career and started every game.<\/p>\n
