After 10 seasons in the NFL, safety Glover Quin has decided to call it a career.

On Tuesday the 33-year-old took to his Instagram to announce his retirement from the league.

Quinn was drafted by the Houston Texans out of New Mexico in 2009. He would spend four years with the Texans before signing with the Lions in 2013.

Quin would make a big impact with the Lions starting in 148 consecutive games and racking up the second most tackles for a safety in the team's history. Lions released him this offseason and Quin chose to retire rather than pursue an opportunity with a new team.

In his 10 year NFL career the 5'11/207 pound defensive back amassed 737 tackles, four sacks, 85 pass deflections, 24 interceptions, 10 forced fumbles and two defensive touchdowns.
