Three championship rings Patrick Chung has announced his retirement from the NFL after 11 seasons with the New England Patriots and three Super Bowl medals. The linebacker's career ended in disgrace when he was suspended for four games for his role in a 2012 season-opening brawl at Miami Beach, Florida. But that hasn't stopped him from continuing to play football. Patrick Chung was drafted by the Patriots in 2009. He spent three seasons with them before being traded to the Seattle Seahawks where he finished out his career. In 2011, he started all 16 regular season games and helped the Seahawks win their first Super Bowl title. After one season with Seattle, he was acquired by New England where he started every game in 2013 and 2014. He won two Super Bowl titles during his time in New England. In his career, Chung has 98 tackles, six sacks, an interception and five forced fumbles. He also had three fumble recoveries. As well as two special awards; the Walter Payton Award given to the nation's top offensive or defensive player (2011), and the Lott Trophy awarded to the league's best middle linebacker (2014). Chung retired just days before his 29th birthday. He decided to end his career early so he could try out for the United States Olympic Football Team.
