Aber ich muss einsehen, dass ich nach 16 Jahren in der NFL nicht mehr jeden Sonntag einen Leadblocking Fullback stoppen kann, da sind j&#252;ngere Spieler gefordert.&#187; Der R&#252;cktritt Nickersons kam f&#252;r die Verantwortlichen in Green Bay nicht allzu &#252;berraschend, sein Verlust wiegt dennoch schwer, haben die Packers doch bei den Linebackers eine d&#252;nne Personaldecke und hoffen, dass ihr Erstrunden-Draft-Pick Nick Barnett die L&#252;cke f&#252;llen kann.<br>Hardy Nickerson geh&#246;rte zu den h&#228;rtesten Hittern unter den Linebacker. In seiner 16j&#228;hirgen NFL-Karriere &#8211; welche ihn nach Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay, Jacksonville und Green Bay f&#252;hrte &#8211; hatte er 1'867 Tackles zu verzeichnen. In neuen Saisons kam Nickerson auf &#252;ber 100 Tackles, 1993 und 2001 erzielte er sogar jeweils mehr als 200 Tackles. Ausserdem steht er mit 21 Sacks und 12 Interceptions zu Buche. 1999 stand er mit den Tampa Bay Buccaneers im NFC Championship Game, f&#252;nfmal wurde er in die Pro Bowl gew&#228;hlt.</div></td>
