Den amerikanske fodbold-spiller Shane Lemieux har meddelt sin pensionering fra NFL. Beskeden kom i et opslag på LinkedIn, hvor Lemieux takkede for sin tid i ligaen og forklarede, hvorfor han nu stopper.
Da New York Giants draftede ham i femte runde i 2020, drømte Lemieux om at spille mindst ti år i NFL. Men fem operationer og mere tid i behandlingsrummet end på banen har gjort det umuligt at fortsætte. Han spillede blot 12 kampe som rookie, og i de efterfølgende tre sæsoner var han kun aktiv i seks kampe for Giants.
Skader på knæ, tæer og biceps har været afgørende for hans begrænsede spilletid. I 2024 skiftede Lemieux til New Orleans Saints, hvor han spillede syv kampe og startede fire. Sidste sæson tilbragte han på Seattle Seahawks' øvelsestrup.
Med kun 18 NFL-kampe over fem år afslutter Lemieux karrieren med en kort, men intens periode i ligaen. Han takkede holdkammerater, trænere og fans for støtte gennem skadesforløbet.
