Sony Michel, a first-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, will retire after five seasons in the NFL, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay announced Saturday.
FILE - Los Angeles Rams running back Sony Michel carries the ball against the Baltimore Ravens during the first half of an NFL football game Jan. 2, 2022, in Baltimore. Michel has decided to retire on the opening weekend of training camp with the Rams. Coach Sean McVay announced Michel’s decision Saturday, July 29, 2023, after the third practice of camp for the Rams, who re-signed Michel last month.
The New England Patriots selected Michel 31st overall in the 2018 NFL Draft, following a decorated career at Georgia in which he formed a devastating one-two punch with Nick Chubb. Michel joined a crowded New England running back room, but was productive in his first two seasons, posting 1,843 combined rushing yards with 13 touchdowns and 4.0 yards per rush.for Michel coming out of the draft, though, and became an issue in 2020 when Michel missed seven games with a quadriceps injury.
The Patriots wound up trading Michel to the Rams for a fifth- and sixth-round pick in 2021. He had a bounceback season with 841 rushing yards, four touchdowns and a Super Bowl ring, but bounced around the league after that. It might be harsh to call Michel a bust, but his career also demonstrates how risky taking a running back in the first round can be given that Chubb, now a four-time Pro Bowler, went four picks later in the second round. A quarterback by the name of Lamar Jackson was taken one pick after Michel as well.
