Getty ImagesThe last we heard from Antwaan Randle El, his brother was telling us he was going to retire.
Well, he’s said it himself now, telling the crowd at his football camp in Indiana: “It’s official. I’m hanging ‘em up.”
Randle El told the Times of Northwest Indiana he had offers, but “made his mind up about six weeks ago that he wanted to move on to other opportunities.”
Those are apparently in broadcasting, as he’s going to work for the Big Ten Network, in addition to some preseason work with the Redskins.
Randle El spent nine years with the Steelers and Redskins, winning a Super Bowl ring and throwing a touchdown pass in Pittsburgh’s Super Bowl XL win over the Seahawks.

He was always entertaining to watch in DC. Wish him all the best.
IU alum, I think, are unanimous in agreeing that Antwaan is a class act. He was a solid pro and a freak athlete at the collegiate level. I remember when he played a season for the IU hoops team and was the fastest guy on the court. I’m sure he’ll do well in the next phase of his life.
I’m glad that you were a Steeler. I’ll never forget the pass to Hines in the SB…. Something special from a special player…
He was and will always be one of my favorite Steelers players. Good Luck ARE. The league needs more players like him, great player on the field, great person off the field. GOD Bless you Randle.
That was a sweet, sweet pass in the Super Bowl.
Best of luck Antwaan Randle El!
Antwaan was one of the classiest players in the league. A true gentleman. One of the best touchdown passes in Super Bowl history. Best of luck.
i wanna retire after only 9yrs. lucky dog
A true flex.
Good ridden
Class act and always team focused with no spotlight on himself. Loved watching him play and wish him only the very best in whatever he does in the future! Thanks for the Super Bowl, Randle!
A great man and entertaining player. Thanks for all you gave to the team and the ‘burgh! Will continue to wear “82″ with pride!
