NFL players and coaches aren't the only ones who hang up their cleats after a lengthy career.
Two longtime NFL cheerleaders have announced their retirement on Sunday morning.
Daniela, a longtime Denver Broncos cheerleader, announced her retirement this week.
"When I started this adventure 3 years ago, I never imagined that I was going to live the most wonderful experiences of my life. I came here with my heart full of dreams and, thanks to all of you, I retire with my soul full of the most beautiful memories. Thank you, Broncos Country, for receiving me and for making me feel so at home. I am so happy to call the Broncos Mi Familia. Thank you for being an organization that knows no boundaries and can unite fans everywhere. Today I hang my chaps, but I am excited to join you on the sidelines supporting our team and screaming VAMOS BRONCOS!" she wrote.
Berkleigh, a longtime Broncos cheerleader and SI Swimsuit model, has done the same.
"I walked into that audition room 7 years ago as a girl, and I’m leaving this legacy as a woman. Without this team, I would not be headed where I am. My hope for those who enter this space next, always remember how truly invincible you are. How lucky am I to have something so special in my life that makes saying goodbye so hard," she wrote.
Best of luck in retirement, ladies.
