Priest Holmes retires today. Its a sad day for people that are Priest Holmes fans. Priest Holmes came back only briefly to play for the Kansas citey chiefs and then was unable to. Priest Holmes announced his retirement at the Arrowhead stadium in Kansas City earlier today. Priest Holmes will be missed greatly by all his fans and those who have respected him for his years of playing the game.

Priest Holmes interestingly retired exactly one month from the point way back when he started his career with his major debut playing against the Oakland Raiders. Priest Holmes had a few words for family and fans when he said, “I have truly been blessed with the opportunity to play in the National Football League.” Blessed to play priest Holmes has been.

The Kansas City Chiefs organization will remember Priest Holmes as an aspiring star who wanted to succeed and get somewhere in the NFL which he did. Many will respect Priest Holmes as he goes down as a Kansas City Chiefs star for a long time. It’s just a shame he had to go out like this with so many injuries and beatings, but nonetheless a happy man.

It wasn’t possible for Priest Holmes to return with multiple neck and head injuries which kept him sitting on the sideline for over two years. I guess Priest Holmes has just come down to the end of his playing career as a Chief, and now he gets to really enjoy some family time.

Priest Holmes has had some great accomplishments in his NFL history like, being a three-time Pro Bowl running back. As well as rushing for a total of 120 yards on 39 carries. That is some pretty serious game right there. And lets talk about touchdowns. From Priest Holmes 2002 to 2004 seasons he built up a total of 66 total touchdowns which is an NFL record for a span of three years which no one has done. truly a great player that will be missed.
