Torrey Smith is calling it a career.

Earlier this month, the Carolina Panthers announced that they were releasing veteran receiver Torrey Smith after just one season with the franchise.

Since then, everything has been quiet with him and his career.

That was until Friday when he formally announced his retirement.

Dear Football, Thank you for showing me how to be a man.
