Shocker: Coffee announces retirement from NFL
Glen Coffee - RB - San Francisco 49ers
Aug. 13, 2010 - 2:50 PM ET
49ers backup RB Glen Coffee shockingly announced his retirement from football Friday.
Coffee was nowhere to be found Friday after missing Thursday afternoon's practice. He released a statement Friday afternoon, indicating that he's "moving on" from football. Coach Mike Singletary runs a notoriously tough camp, but there has to be more to the story here. Coffee was thought to be battling rookie Anthony Dixon for the No. 2 job behind Frank Gore, though Singletary says Dixon is still "a ways away." Michael Robinson could enter the season as the primary backup instead.
