Billy Price, a former first-round draft pick in the NFL, announced his retirement from professional on Saturday morning due to the potential of complications from a blood clot.

Price, a center, has not played in the league since a stint with the Arizona Cardinals during the 2022 season.

In an emotional Instagram post, Price wrote, 'In the blink of an eye, everything can be taken away.

'On April 24th I had emergency pulmonary embolism surgery to remove a saddle clot that was entering both of my lungs.

'As a healthy 29 year old, an unprovoked pulmonary embolism with no further medical explanation is terrifying. I am truly thankful to be alive today.

'Unfortunately, I will be retiring from the NFL as the risk of an internal bleed while on blood thinners creates tremendous risk.'
