Anquan Boldin thanked fans of the teams he played for in a social media post as he prepares to head into retirement from the NFL.

After 14 seasons in the NFL, Boldin declared his intention to retire last weekend after a brief period of time with the Bills. In a statement, he talked about wanting to devote more time to doing humanitarian work.

Here’s the note Boldin posted on Twitter:

Thank you all fans, teams and my NFL brothers for the well wishes. It's truly been an honor to be apart of the league the last 14 seasons. Q pic.twitter.com/kMFxYlkIO7

During his career, Boldin won a Super Bowl with the Ravens and made three Pro Bowl teams. He will retire with 1,076 career receptions (ninth all-time), 13,779 yards and 82 touchdowns.

Boldin carved out quite a career for himself, one that could see him enshrined in the Hall of Fame. Larry Fitzgerald thinks his former teammate will be there one day.
