Running back Maurice Jones-Drew was honored by the Jacksonville Jaguars with a retirement ceremony Tuesday.

Jones-Drew, a second-round pick of the Jaguars in 2006, is retiring having spent the first eight of nine NFL seasons in Jacksonville. He played sparingly for the Oakland Raiders in 2014.

He signed a ceremonial one-day contract with the Jaguars on Tuesday.

Jones-Drew compiled 8,167 yards rushing, 2,944 yards receiving and 81 touchdowns. He led the team in rushing in six of his eight seasons with Jacksonville.

“Maurice has been like a brother to me dating back to our days at UCLA,” said Jaguars tight end Marcedes Lewis. “It’s been a blessing having him by my side throughout this journey and I wouldn’t trade that for the world. Maurice was a warrior on the football field and I enjoyed going to battle with him. He is an incredible leader, but an even better friend.”
