One of the best playmaking safeties of the Nick Saban era at Alabama is calling it a career in the National Football League.
Ha’Sean “Ha Ha” Clinton-Dix is signing a one-day contract for the Green Bay Packers. He is planning on retiring from the league with the Packers, according to NFL reporter Ari Meirov. Clinton-Dix got selected by the Packers at No. 21 overall in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He spent five seasons in Green Bay (2014-18), earning second-team All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors in 2016.
