Patrick Willis' necktie was the star of his retirement press conference

On Tuesday, 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis officially announced his retirement from professional football after eight incredible seasons.

At just 30 years of age, Willis still has a lot of life a head of him, which is good, considering he still may need to work on the proper way to wear a tie.

Take a look at Willis from his press conference. His tie is on the inside of his shirt.

But when you've done the things that Willis did on the field, you can wear your tie any way you want.
