EAGAN, Minn.- It was expected after his emotional farewell in his final game against the Packers last month. Now, Duluth native and Vikings fullback CJ Ham is making it official.
Via his agency Team IFA, Ham is retiring after 10 seasons in the NFL, all of which were with his homestate team, the Vikings.
It all started with a rookie minicamp invite back in 2016. What ensued after that was two Pro Bowl nods and 141 career games.
Ham was exclusively a blocker but he did find the end zone eight times in his career while also having 119 yards rushing.
