NFL star announces shock retirement at just 29 after suffering a ‘terrifying’ blood clot

Billy Price, a former first-round draft pick in the NFL, announced his retirement from professional on Saturday morning due to the potential of complications from a blood clot.’On April 24th I had emergency pulmonary embolism surgery to remove a saddle clot that was entering both of my lungs.

‘As a healthy 29 year old, an unprovoked pulmonary embolism with no further medical explanation is terrifying. I am truly thankful to be alive today.’Unfortunately, I will be retiring from the NFL as the risk of an internal bleed while on blood thinners creates tremendous risk.’

Price played in 69 career games (45 starts) with the Bengals, New York Giants and Cardinals since being selected by Cincinnati with the 21st overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Ohio State.
