Ryan Ramczyk, a former standout offensive tackle for the Wisconsin Badgers and a stalwart for the New Orleans Saints, has announced his retirement from the NFL. Drafted 32nd overall in the 2017 NFL Draft, he has spent his entire eight-year career with the Saints. A three-time Pro Bowl selection, Ramczyk received First-Team All-Pro honors in 2019 and was recognized for his excellence with two additional Second-Team All-Pro selections in 2018 and 2020. Unfortunately, his career was marred by a significant knee injury that kept him sidelined for the entire 2024 season.

During his tenure, Ramczyk started 101 games, showcasing his durability and skill on the field. He was instrumental in a Saints offense that achieved notable success, including a season in which they averaged over 28 points and 203 rushing yards per game. His retirement signifies a loss for the Saints and the NFL, as he was one of the last prominent players from his college era still active in the league.
