Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro was part of the recent annual trek organized by Chris Long’s Waterboys foundation, created to help Africa manage its water problems, and that became the perfect time and place for Ngata’s announcement. “I’m retiring on top. I might be finished playing football, but I’m holding tight to the friendships, memories and wisdom I’ve gained along the way. For reasons besides his announcement, Ngata was moved by the trip to climb the 19,341-foot peak.
