Bruce Smith, Redskins - ’03
Deion Sanders (wearing #37), Ravens - ’04; his final pick-6 like that final Ruth HR
Doug Flutie, NE - ’05
Richard Seymour, Raiders - ’12
Thought about Willie McGinest with Browns in ’08, but 14 starts and 40+ tackles...

Doug Flutie went out with a successful drop kick. Definitely not a whimper!

Emmitt Smith? He didn't really do anything of note in that "other" bird uniform, did he? (I'm borrowing from Terry Bradshaw who said that he hated seeing Franco Harris in "that bird helmet" in Seattle)

Didn't Earl Campbell pull up lame on his final carry and have the ball knocked away for a touchback? I'm pretty sure it was in his final game, anyway.
