Former Lions safety Glover Quin announced his decision to retire from the NFL after 10 seasons in a post shared on Instagram Tuesday morning.
Taken by the Texans in the fourth round of the 2009 draft out of New Mexico, Quin spent four years in Houston before finishing his NFL career in Detroit. The Lions released the veteran safety in February to free up $6.25 million in salary-cap space. Quin, 33, started all 96 games in his six seasons with Detroit and averaged 71 tackles and 3.2 interceptions per year.
