The Facts: White spent a whole year on the sidelines, and realized today he was finished with football. White just put out word on Twitter that he was retiring as a player, thanking the Falcons and owner Arthur Blank for his 11 years there.

Diehards Line: White didn’t play last year and apparently realizes his excellent career -- he went to four Pro Bowls and finished with 808 catches for 10,863 yards (both in the top 40 all-time) and 63 touchdowns -- is over.
