Frisco, Texas – The Bowler player nine times, Zach Martin officially retired.
Dallas Cowboys goalkeeper thought about his football career on Wednesday and thanked everyone who helped him along the way.
Martin retires as one of the most decorated players in the history of the franchise.
Eleven years ago, Cowboys vice-president Stephen Jones convinced his father, Jerry, to write Martin in the quarter Johnny Manziel. It was the right choice.
Notre Dame’s offensive line player has become a legend of cowboys.
Only the Cowboys Hall of Famers Bob Lilly and Randy White were also named the players of the first All-Pro team seven times.
Martin said that his only regret was that he had never been able to hoist the Lombardi trophy with his teammates.
“But I am incredibly proud of the road that we have traveled and everything we have accomplished along the way. I hope I have left as much impression on this organization as on me. There is a deep feeling of pride in knowing that I have given everything to a team, a city, a team, an organization of my entire career,” he said.
Former teammate Tony Romo, who attended Martin’s retirement celebration to the star, said that even as a recruit, Martin was one of the best line players with whom he had ever played.
Martin will be eligible for the professional consideration of the temple of the fame of football in 2029.
