“I love football, but today is my last day as a football player,” he said, via the New York Post. “This game has given me opportunities beyond my wildest dreams. This game has challenged me with obstacles I thought I’d never overcome.
“This game has forged lifelong bonds with people I would have never met otherwise. I’ve been playing this game since I was 8 years old. Today, I’m 31.”
Streveler played college football at Minnesota and South Dakota before he took a chance and went to the NFL. He joined the Cardinals during the 2020 season.

Streveler joined the Jets in 2022 after the Dolphins waived him. He was one of four Jets quarterbacks who got to start during that season. He made his first career start against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15 of that season.
He was 10-of-15 for 90 yards. New York lost the game, 23-6. The Jets would later waive Streveler before the 2023 season would begin.
