Former Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Steven Nelson has announced his retirement from the NFL at the age of 31.
Nelson entered the league as a third-round pick out of Oregon State, selected No. 98 overall by Kansas City in the 2015 NFL Draft with general manager John Dorsey, head coach Andy Reid and defensive coordinator Bob Sutton at the helm.
After his time with KC and Pittsburgh, Nelson spent 2021 with the Philadelphia Eagles and 2022 and 2023 with the Houston Texans. "Coming from a small town without a lot of resources, having to go to junior college, making it out of there to go to Oregon State, which was across the country from my family, going through a lot of trials and tribulations to get to where I am today and to be able to persevere and make it this far. I’m extremely proud of my legacy and my career."
