Haloti Ngata was very popular with fans and teammates when he played with the Baltimore Ravens from 2006-14. In an Instagram post, Ngata, who played for Detroit for three years and then the Eagles this past season, held a banner that said "I'm Retiring From The NFL On Top" -- while standing atop Mount Kilimanjaro. And typical of Ngata, he did not do something in a small way. He truly meant a lot to the city of Baltimore and the football fans before playing those final four years in different places. Then, when it was time to go, he got up to the top of Kilimanjaro to say good-bye and thanks.
