Chargers News: Former LA Kicker Announces Retirement At 32

The multi-sport athlete calls it a career.

Yet another former member of the Los Angeles Chargers has decided their time in the NFL is over. Kicker Josh Lambo was a part of LA's squad in 2015 and 2016. He played all 16 games in both of those years and connected on 52 out of 64 field goals attempted.

The news was first shared by Lambo himself via his own Twitter.

Today, I officially retire from pro sports. 4 years in @MLS and 7 in the @NFL have led me to things I could only dream of, and now I want to help others accomplish their goals as I become a speaker and author. Thank you to the fans that supported me and the teammates I worked w/ pic.twitter.com/Sn51gMYh4O

Following his Chargers stint, Lambo would go on to play five seasons for the Jacksonville Jaguars. He made greater strides here as he was named to the Second Team All-Pro and kicked 76 successful field goals in his time there.

Unfortunately, Lambo did not have the best final season in his career as he joined the Tennessee Titans and had some very well-documented drama with former coach Urban Meyer. The two had disagreements over some alleged violence and Lambo actually proceeded to sue the franchise.

However, the 32-year-old actually took part in a different profession that definitely helped his kicking skills prior to playing in the NFL. He was very passionate about the sport of soccer and originally signed a 4-year contract in the MLS.

Even though Lambo's time with the Chargers was pretty short, he still was very efficient and reliable when he was on the field. He built up a lot of experience in knowledge as a professional athlete in two different sports and he will grow into a great influencer when he writes and speaks.
