Bobby Jones

ETA He may not fit the description of a professional, but dominated his sport while competing against professionals

Ricky fake retired to avoid a suspension for smoking pot. Pretty sure he was looking for NFL jobs past 30

Chris Borland retired right after his rookie season despite almost making the Pro Bowl.

TBH the first guy who comes to mind about this is MJ and his first retirement, I mean everything about that final year and what occurred after they completed the threepeat just screams out burnout

George Foreman KO' Pedro Agosto, in 1977.
That victory moved Foreman's record to 45-1, his only loss was to Ali.

George Foreman KO' Michael Moore in 1994,
That win at the age of 42 earned him the WBA, IBF, and lineal Heavyweight titles

Ricky Williams for a RB had a long NFL career. Him not being able to play for 2 years may have helped him long term. As NFL running back go he might have one of the more underated NFL RB careers.

Sedrick Ellis. He admitted after he retired that he didn't love football anymore. Makes sense now after trying to figure out why he never seemed to play up to his potential.
