Andrew Luck caught the football world off guard on Saturday night when he announced his retirement from the NFL at the age of 29. It was completely unexpected and he fought back tears during his press conference, showing this was not an easy decision for the Colts quarterback to make.
After battling several injuries the last few years, including one that caused him to miss the Colts’ most recent matchup with the Rams in Week 1 of the 2017 season, Luck decided to put his health and life before his football career.
Eric Weddle was among the players and analysts to react to the news, sharing a heartfelt message for Luck on Twitter.
Weddle spent his entire career before this season in the AFC, squaring off with Luck several times. As two of the most well-respected players in the game, it’s great to see Weddle sharing such a kind message for Luck.
