Cornerback Steven Nelson is making a surprise comeback to the NFL after a brief retirement.

The 31-year-old has signed with the Kansas City Chiefs, the team that drafted him back in 2015, rejoining the back-to-back Super Bowl champions.

A Journey Through the NFL

Nelson’s career in the NFL spans nearly a decade, with stops at the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles, and Houston Texans.

After several successful seasons, he announced his retirement, only to now return to the game he once left behind.

Reflecting on His Retirement Decision

In June, Nelson shared the news of his retirement, explaining that it was a decision driven by his desire to spend more time with his family and focus on off-field business ventures.

“I think it’s time for me to take a step back and devote all my time and energy to family and my off-field ventures,” he said at the time, adding that the birth of his child was a key factor in his decision.

Looking back on his career, Nelson expressed immense pride in his accomplishments, highlighting his journey from a small-town upbringing to playing in the NFL.

“Coming from a small town without a lot of resources, going to junior college, then making it to Oregon State—it’s been a long, hard journey to get to where I am today,” he reflected.

“I’m extremely proud of my legacy and what I’ve accomplished in football.”

What’s Next for Nelson?

With his return to the Chiefs’ practice squad, fans are curious about how Nelson will contribute to the team’s ongoing success.

After years of experience and perseverance, his comeback has many wondering what he’ll bring to the field in the next chapter of his career.
