Former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck’s surprise retirement at the age of 29 sent shockwaves through the NFL, and flames through his merchandise that fans had purchased over the years. I’m sure he’s seen those by now, after the fact, but he certainly heard the boos as he walked out of LucasOil Stadium’s field for the last time in a while after the news leaked and the fans knew before he knew they knew.
Luck wasn’t the only Stanford player to go in the first round in 2012, though. The Pittsburgh Steelers got the other one, All-Pro right guard David DeCastro.
