Owner of Cowboys' single-season rushing record is retiring

Former Dallas Cowboys running back and Oklahoma Sooners star DeMarco Murray has retired after seven seasons in the NFL.

Murray, 30, made the announcement Friday on ESPN’s NFL Live.

He was drafted by Dallas in the third round in 2011, played his first four seasons in the league with the Cowboys, including 2014 when he led the league with 1,845 yards on 392 carries and rushed for 13 touchdowns. He averaged 115.3 yards a game in ‘14. His 1,845 yards rushing is the single-season record by a Cowboys’ running back and 17th most in NFL history.

Murray was cut by the Tennessee Titans in March after two seasons. He led the AFC with 1,287 yards rushing in 2016 but had a career-low 659 yards in ‘17 because of injuries.
