Mandatory Credit: Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports Running back Rashaad Penny is calling it a career after six NFL seasons.
The Carolina Panthers placed Penny on the reserve/retired list Tuesday morning and signed undrafted rookie wide receiver Tayvion Robinson.
Tuesday's news comes on the heels of Penny recently declaring to the Charlotte Observer that he's one of the best running backs in the NFL when healthy.
Penny, 28, signed with the Panthers in May and reunited with coach Dave Canales, the new head coach in Carolina. Canales overlapped with Penny in Seattle as quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator.
A former first-round pick, Penny played in Philadelphia last year but appeared in just three games and had 11 rushes for 33 yards.
Penny has recorded 1,951 career rushing yards and 13 TDs in 45 games (11 starts), nearly all of that with the Seahawks, who selected him 27th overall in the 2018 NFL Draft.
Robinson had 194 catches for 2,604 yards with 15 touchdowns (14 receiving, one punt return) in four seasons at Virginia Tech and Kentucky.
