The toughest player Anthony Castonzo ever blocked? All in the Colts family.
Colts LT Anthony Castonzo never made a Pro Bowl. He never won a ring.
But every metric, numerical or character-driven, has him marked as one of the best to ever do it at his position, and the hulking star’s retirement on Tuesday morning has certainly left the franchise shaken.
Castonzo chose to ride off into the sunset rather than rehabilitate a surgically-repaired ankle this offseason, and we respect his decision, though we’re extremely sad to see him go.
