St Louis Rams’ WR Isaac Bruce is retiring from professional football after 16 seasons in the NFL.  He was a formidable player that has conquered nearly every single franchise receiving record.  He also ranks second in the league for career receiving yards (15,208), tied for second for yards per catch (14.9), fifth in catches (1,024), and ninth in receiving touchdowns (91).  During his career, he  was named Rookie of the Year in 1994, named True Value Man of the Year, made four pro bowl appearances, and helped the Rams to their Super Bowl win in 2000.

Bruce played the last two seasons with the San Francisco 49ers; however, the 9ers allowed the Rams to sign the WR on Monday, which meant Bruce could retire as a St Louis Ram where he played 14 of his 16 seasons in the NFL.  His teammates and coaches remember him as a highly professional and talented receiver.  Bruce’s number 80 will be retired later on in the upcoming season.

He joins a slew of offseason retirements that includes former St Louis teammate Kurt Warner, Zach Thomas, Walter Jones, Junior Seau, Bertrand Berry, Jeff Feagles, Deuce McAllister, Jason Elam, Chris Samuels, Patrick Kerney, Ryan Tucker, Craig Hentrich, Casey Fitzsimmons, and Mike Schneck.
