Chris Mortensen announced he will retire from ESPN effective immediately.

“It’s time to reveal after my 33rd NFL draft in April, I made a decision to step away from ESPN and focus on my health, family and faith,” Mortensen wrote on social media Tuesday. “The gratitude and humility is overwhelming. It’s not a classic retirement. I’ll still be here talking ball. It’s just time. God Bless you all.”

Mortensen has worked at ESPN since 1991.

Mortensen was diagnosed with Stage IV throat cancer in early 2016. In an August 2016 statement, Mortensen said he underwent “intensive chemotherapy and radiation.”
