Vereen has retired from the NFL, the TwinCities.com-Pioneer Press reports.
This announcement comes as a surprise, as Vereen, who latched on with the Patriots this offseason, was reportedly having an impressive preseason. He didn't provide any rationale for how he came to make the decision to call it quits, but his career is likely over after being selected by the Bears in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL Draft. Vereen racked up 38 tackles, one interception and one forced fumble in 16 games during his rookie season, but lasted just three weeks into the 2015 campaign before getting cut.
