The San Francisco 49ers have gone through an eventful 2024 off-season, to say the least. From trade talks to holdouts to injuries to star players, San Francisco likely wants the 2024 regular season to get here without any more drama.
There will be, however, one former quarterback who will be in the booth this year rather than on the sidelines.
Former San Francisco 49ers QB Announces Retirement
Having played 13 seasons in the NFL, including six with the Washington Commanders and one with the 49ers, quarterback Colt McCoy is officially retiring and moving into broadcasting. He announced his decision via a YouTube video:
McCoy was one of the best quarterbacks ever for the University of Texas:
While McCoy played 13 seasons in the NFL, he is still much more well known for his time as the quarterback at the University of Texas from 2005 to 2009.
McCoy was a redshirt freshman on Texas’ 2005 BCS national championship team then became a 4-year starter for the Longhorns. He left school with the NCAA Division I career record for wins for a quarterback (45), was the only player in school history to win or share team MVP 4 consecutive years and was a 2-time Heisman Trophy finalist.
He was also a two-time Walter Camp Player of the Year Award winner and led Texas to the BCS National Championship Game following the 2009 season. He also won the Maxwell Award and the Davey O’Brien Award that season.
Against Alabama in the BCS National Championship Game, McCoy was famously knocked out of the game with a shoulder injury on Texas’ first offensive series.
McCoy was drafted by the Browns in the 3rd round (No. 85 overall) of the 2010 NFL draft.
