When Did Ronnie Brown Retire? The End Of An Era For The Running Back

Ronnie Brown retired from professional football in 2014. While his career didn’t quite unfold as anticipated, he left a lasting impact on the league.

Ronnie Brown’s career was marked by both promise and injury. Drafted second overall by the Miami Dolphins in the 2005 NFL Draft, he was expected to be the cornerstone of their offense for years to come. He showed flashes of brilliance, rushing for over 1,000 yards in his rookie season and becoming a Pro Bowl selection. However, his career was plagued by injuries, most notably a torn ACL in 2008. Despite his setbacks, Brown remained a valuable contributor for the Dolphins and later for the Philadelphia Eagles. He ended his career with over 5,000 rushing yards and 31 touchdowns.
