EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Tiki Barber ran for 371 yards in the final two games of his extraordinary career. But all that running hasn’t caused him to second guess, even for an instant, his decision to walk away from the Giants and the NFL.
“This decision has been in my head for years now,” Barber said today as he stood before a horde of reports at his locker for the last time. “And you guys have been, I think, aware of that. I’ve alluded to it plenty of times. This was just the right time for me. And I know it personally. It may not appear that way by how I played this year, but I’m ready to go on and do something else. And I’m excited about it, I really am. I’m not going to regret not being a football player anymore.”
