Pat O’Connor, a defensive lineman who played nine NFL seasons, is retiring from professional football, according to reports from multiple outlets. The 32-year-old spent time with the Detroit Lions before joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he was part of the team’s 2021 Super Bowl-winning roster. Both sources state that O’Connor is ending his NFL career, with one outlet characterizing him as a former Lions and Buccaneers player and noting his role in the Buccaneers’ Super Bowl 55 championship. Another outlet similarly reports that a member of the Buccaneers’ 2021 Super Bowl squad is stepping away from the league. The reports do not cite additional details about his post-NFL plans or the specific reasons for his retirement. O’Connor’s announcement concludes a career that included championship experience with Tampa Bay and continued defensive play across multiple seasons in the NFL.
