Watch: Josh Cribbs tells DeflateGate story in retirement video

March 22 (UPI) -- Prolific kick returner Josh Cribbs hasn't played in the NFL since 2014, but he officially announced his retirement Wednesday.

The former Cleveland Browns wide receiver filmed a video for UNINTERRUPTED to make the announcement.

"What's up everybody," Cribbs said. "It's three-time Pro Bowler Josh Cribbs. Yes sir. Let me tell y'all a story. Y'all remember that DeflateGate game? 2015, yeah I was in that game. Yes. I was playing for the Indianapolis Colts, right? They punted me the football. The ball was moving every which way because it didn't have any air in the ball. Wink. wink. No I'm just kidding, so look. I muffed the punt. Yes I muffed the punt and I was dumfounded and devastated because I never had a chance to redeem myself."

The New England Patriots beat the Colts 45-7 in the 2015 AFC Championship. Cribbs had three kick returns for 75 yards in the loss. His first quarter fumble was recovered by Darius Fleming.

"But I had to realize how far I came to make it to where I am today," Cribbs said. "Three-time Pro Bowler, having the most kick return touchdowns in NFL history, being named to the 2000 All-Decade team, having my jersey in the Hall of Fame for scoring two kick return touchdowns in the same game. I mean, when they mention the greatest returners of all time, they mention me. They mention my name. I mean I'm like top-5 or something man, put me in there. But I'm so grateful to have done all of that in Cleveland. Yes, right here in Cleveland. I'm humbled. And we didn't even win so why are we so grateful to us Cleveland, the greatest fan base in the world man. I'm just humbled and honored to have played in front of you. For that I'm grateful to officially retire a Cleveland Brown. Thank you Cleveland and god bless."

Cribbs, 33, was an All-Pro in 2009. His eight kick returns for a touchdown are the most in NFL history. He also had three punt returns for touchdowns. But it wasn't all glory for the speedster. Cribbs was candid about the concussions he received during his career. He once said that after a brain scan, a doctor told him he had a healthy brain for a person in his 50s.
