Packers legend Donald Driver hangs up cleats
Donald Driver - WR - Green Bay Packers
Jan. 31, 2013 - 11:55 AM ET

Donald Driver has officially decided to retire.

Driver, who will turn 38 on Saturday, called the decision "difficult" because he feels he "can still play the game." But after spending the last two of his 14 seasons buried on the depth chart, he said it's time to "let it go." Driver joined the Packers as a lightly-regarded seventh-round pick out of Alcorn State in 1999 and finishes as the illustrious franchise's all-time leader in receptions (743) and receiving yards (10,137). He also topped 1,000 yards seven times in an eight-year stretch between 2002 and 2009, and made three Pro Bowls. The Packers will hold a ceremony for Driver in Green Bay on Feb. 6.
