5 superstars who could be entering their final season in the NFL
Every season turns out to be the final season in the NFL for one player or another. For many, the choice of the final season in the NFL is out of their hands, with their form and upcoming players ensuring that their hands are forced to retire. There are others, though, who can choose their own curtain call. In the 2022 NFL season, some players are likely to play their final season in the NFL. Here is a list of the top 5 players who could call it a day after the season ends.
Final season in the NFL beckons for these players
#1 - Rob Gronkowski
Rob Gronkowski has already retired once before from the NFL and only returned to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers because Tom Brady ended up there. Now that Tom Brady has decided not to retire and return for the 2022 NFL season, there is a good chance that Rob Gronkowski could give it one more shot. But he had retired, citing the toll the game was taking on his body, and it would not be a surprise should he decide that this will be his final season in the NFL.
Rob Gronkowski says he'd choose to retire if forced into decision right now: "If I had an answer right now, it would be no. But in three weeks, it might be yes."

He hinted that he would be coming back this season. He stated this while leaving a barbershop, but there is a good chance that the upcoming season could be his final season playing in the league.
#2 - Aaron Donald
Aaron Donald does not look ready to retire just yet, but it is no secret that he is contemplating retirement. After winning the Super Bowl that he craved, he would want to try experiencing the feeling one more time.

But the simple truth of the matter is that the three-times defensive player of the year has a lot of miles on the clock. Last season alone, he made a career-high 84 tackles. When he told a reporter in confidence that he might consider retiring if they won the Super Bowl, he was thinking about spending time with his kids and family rather than whether he could play at an elite level or not. He will probably be back this season, and should they not win the Super Bowl this year, he would be content having won one and choosing to retire to give more time to his personal requirements.
