A fourth round draft pick in 2001, Ryan Diem played 158 games for the Colts, winning two AFC Championships and Super Bowl XLI while starting at right tackle. In 2011, after spending his entire career in Indianapolis, Diem retired from football.
“Life is good. I can’t complain,” he says. “I had a great run with the Colts for 11 seasons and when that was over, it was special for me because I got to kind of end it on my own terms.”
Diem says he was ready to move on to the next chapter in life, which has been mostly about family.
