Former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck told reporters that he never considered returning to the league after he retired.

"When I retired, that part of it was put to bed in my mind," Luck said, per ESPN's Stephen Holder.

Luck was back in Indianapolis on Friday to attend the Chuckstrong Tailgate Gala at the Colts practice facility. He's been gone nearly five years now after his stunning retirement announcement during the 2019 preseason.

At the time, Luck told reporters that the seemingly never-ending cycle of pain and rehab led to him being exhausted and walking away from football.
