After two releases in just over a month, a former Philadelphia Eagles draft pick has officially retired from professional football. At 28 years old, he’s chosen to take a new path off the field.
The transition marks the end of a difficult chapter for the once-promising offensive lineman, who struggled to maintain a roster spot after several short-lived stints across the league.
Jack Driscoll
, a fourth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, showed early promise with significant early-career snaps but never fully developed into a consistent pass protector. Over the next few years, his role and performance steadily declined.
After short stops with other teams around the league, Driscoll decided to retire and return to Philadelphia — not as a player, but as a member of the Philadelphia Police Department
, working in community outreach and youth mentorship.
In a statement, Driscoll shared, “With the Eagles, we fought together on the field. In Philadelphia, I’ll fight for the people — because loyalty doesn’t end when the lights go out.
”
His decision has drawn praise from both Eagles fans and local officials, who see it as a full-circle story — from protecting quarterbacks to protecting the community he once represented on Sundays.
