Austin Blythe is calling it a career. The former Rams offensive lineman announced on Tuesday that he’s retiring from the NFL after seven seasons, the most recent of which was spent as the Seahawks’ starting center.
Blythe was with the Rams for four years from 2017-2020, starting at both right guard and center. He was part of the team that reached the Super Bowl in 2018, becoming an important part of the offensive line in his second season with Los Angeles.
He left in free agency in 2021, signing with the Chiefs that offseason. He only played four games for Kansas City before joining the Seahawks last offseason. Blythe started all 17 games for Seattle in 2022.
