from his 7-year-old daughter, New York Giants offensive lineman David
Diehl has retired after an 11-year career that included two Super Bowl
championships.
The fifth-round draft pick became a cornerstone of tough offensive
lines. Diehl missed only 12 games in his career, starting at every
position on the line but centre.
Addison Diehl accompanied him to the training centre Friday and told
team president John Mara that she had "allowed" her dad to retire.
"Its not very easy for my daughter to talk about me retiring and not
playing football," Diehl said. "The Giants are just as much family to
her as they are to me. Shes been going to the games and at 7 years old,
she understands everything. She understands the game and the players and
how important it is to play in the NFL.
"For her, my stepping away from something she loves as much as I do is
not an easy thing."
Diehl was selected to the 2009 Pro Bowl. Diehl was the only Giants
player whose arrival predated coach Tom Coughlin and Eli Manning. With
his retirement, the longest-tenured Giants are guard Chris Snee and
Manning.
"When I think of David Diehl what comes to mind is his indomitable
spirit," Coughlin said. "He got the most out of his God-given ability
and thats the best way that you can judge any individual."
DDiehl started the first 120 regular-season games and seven post-season
games in his career, the longest such streak by a Giant since the
introduction of the 16-game schedule in 1978. Marquette King Jersey. The streak ended on Nov. 14, 2010 against Dallas because of hip and
hamstring injuries. He ends his career with 164 regular-season games
played, tying Phil Simms for 12th on the franchises all-time list.
"I love football," he said. "I love being in the game, I love watching
film, I love doing all of that and Im going to miss that aspect of it.
But I know Im ready to start the new and next chapter of my life. Im
ready to not only be a bigger part of my daughters life, but Im ready to
spread my knowledge and help other people with the game and continue to
do stuff throughout our community and charity work and be involved with
the New York Giants in any way possible."
In the regular season, Diehl started 65 games at left tackle, 42 at left
guard, 26 at right tackle and 27 at right guard. In the post-season,
Diehl has 10 starts at left tackle and one at left guard.
"He took the talent that he had and he used it to the extreme, to the
utmost of his ability," Coughlin said. "What more can you ask of the
guy? And he gave great effort. He always gave great effort, there was no
doubt about that. You knew exactly what you were getting."
