An NFL fullback has announced his retirement following a career that began with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2016.
Derek Watt has called it quits after seven seasons in the league, informing everyone of his decision in a heartwarming letter on Tuesday.
“Just a kid from Pewaukee, WI who had the chance to live out his childhood dream of being drafted and playing in the NFL,” he wrote. “And now, it is with great honor and gratitude that I officially announce my retirement and the end of my career… A career that ended up being about so much more than just the game that I love. The 7 years, with 2 great organizations, 110 career games, and lifelong friendship and memories that I’ve been fortunate enough to make have been nothing short of amazing.
“I am retiring from this incredible game feeling full of gratitude and satisfaction knowing that I gave it my all each and every day. Never took any shortcuts and achieved so many of my goals along the way. It was all worth it.”

Being at WNBA games has become a new and fashionable thing to do, and Kayla Nicole made sure she had a grand entrance for a recent game.
Kayla Nicole, the social media star and Travis Kelce’s former partner, showed up at Crypto.com Arena to see the Los Angeles Sparks take on the Las Vegas Aces.
The prominent model and influencer ad courtside seats to watch stars like Cameron Brink, Dearica Hamby, Rickea Jackson, Kelsey Plum, and two-time MVP A’ja Wilson.
At one point, Nicole stole the show when she took to her Instagram story and posted herself posing at the game. She could be seen wearing a cut-off white shirt that exposed her midsection and back, and she paired it with black flared pants that had a chain hanging from them.
She finished the look, rocking some Air Jordan 1s.
With 18 points, five assists, and ten rebounds, Dearica Hamby had her tenth double-double of the 2024 season to lead the Sparks. Aari McDonald finished with 16 points, while standout rookie Rickea Jackson finished with 16 points and five rebounds. Fellow rookie Cameron Brink finished with eight points, six rebounds, and a career-high five blocks, per ESPN.com.
On the flip side, two-time MVP A’ja Wilson finished the loss with a tremendous showing, scoring 31 points, eight rebounds, six blocked shots, five assists, and two steals, while Kelsey Plum finished with 24 points, five assists, and two rebounds.
