New Orleans Saints linebacker Craig Robertson announced his retirement today from professional football.

"Craig was a fantastic player, leader and a consummate professional throughout his time with the New Orleans Saints," said Saints Executive Vice-President/General Manager Mickey Loomis. "When he arrived in 2016, Craig instantly became a leader in the locker room and was well respected by his teammates and staff. It was a pleasure watching Craig's passion, toughness and leadership ability on the field, in our locker room and in our community. We thank him and wish him, his wife Brittani and their children all the best in their future endeavors."

"I remember Craig first joining us in 2016 when I was entering my first full season as defensive coordinator," said Saints Head Coach Dennis Allen. "Craig was everything that you look for in a player, smart, hard-working and versatile. He poured all of those attributes along with his God-given talent into our building every day, providing the leadership a coach needs for a young defense to build. Craig also had that same impact on our special teams units, which also continued to build with his hard work and leadership. I congratulate Craig for what he achieved in his NFL playing career and thank him for his contributions to the New Orleans Saints."

I still remember sitting with him one random day before class in our masters program. Already one year removed from when he played at UNT. He said, my agent called and they want a tryout with the Browns. I am going to do it but this is my last one I am sure. It is so nice to see what he made of that tryout. He was a good guy and kudos to him for a good career.

good dude.

Similar to Travis, he was working at LA Fitness in the off year he had and remembered me from Victory Hall. I'm glad he was able to carve out a long career in the NFL.
