Overview

  • Ryan Ramczyk, 30, officially announced his retirement via Instagram after seven NFL seasons and 101 starts with the New Orleans Saints.
  • The 2017 first-round pick earned three All-Pro honors between 2018 and 2020, solidifying his legacy as one of the league's top offensive tackles.
  • Chronic knee issues, including a cartilage defect, sidelined him for the 2023 season and ultimately led to his decision to retire.
  • Ramczyk will serve as the Saints’ guest picker for their Day 2 selections at the NFL Draft in Green Bay, a role typically reserved for active legends.
  • He follows former Saints left tackle Terron Armstead, who also retired earlier this year, marking a transitional period for the team’s offensive line.
