  "account": "Former New Orleans Saints cornerback Arthur Maulet announced his retirement from the NFL recently. Maulet, now 33 years old, had a nine-season career spanning six different teams. He began his NFL journey with the Saints in 2017 and played for a total of 100 games across his career. Maulet expressed gratitude towards everyone who supported him throughout his journey, including teams, coaches, and teammates. He highlighted the long road he had to travel, overcoming numerous setbacks and sacrifices along the way. Maulet, who was born in New Orleans, attended Bonnabel High School in Kenner, Louisiana. He is one of only four NFL players to have attended Bonnabel High School and is the longest-tenured player to do so. Before entering the NFL draft, Maulet played collegiately at Copiah-Lincoln Community College and the Memphis Tigers. Despite not being drafted in 2017, he signed with the Saints as an undrafted rookie. His rookie season saw him make eight appearances, two of them in the playoffs, mostly on special teams. In 2018, Maulet joined the Indianapolis Colts, followed by a stint with the Pittsburgh Steelers where he got 8 starts in 33 games. He also played for the New York Jets, Baltimore Ravens, and Detroit Lions before retiring after the 2025 season. During his nine-year NFL career, Maulet secured five interceptions, had 18 pass breakups, forced two fumbles, recovered three fumbles, made five sacks, and accumulated 17 tackles for loss.",
