Syracuse Football: Dwight Freeney calls it a career with Indianapolis Colts

You could see the impact that Dwight Freeney had simply by scrolling through his Twitter timeline. There were a lot of congratulations for the former Syracuse football star Freeney who signed a one-day contract to retire as a member of the Indianapolis Colts.

Former players saying thanks grandpa, I thought you’d never retire. Where Freeney responds jokingly, him either. He played 16 years in the pros and while he hadn’t had a double digit sack since 2010, he still was effective.

Over the last five years of his career, he played for a different team each season.
