“Obviously, I haven’t been here this summer," Offerrdahl said on Tuesday.
"I won’t be coming back this year. Just how serious this last concussion was, and how many I’ve had leading up to it, it’s pretty scary for me and my family. I will be hanging it up. I just wanted to take this time and let everybody know here and thank you guys. I love you guys, how much you guys have done for me in my football career.”
