Ex-Texans safety Glover Quin retiring from NFL
Former Texans safety Glover Quin announced Tuesday he is retiring from the NFL.
Quin, who played for the Texans from 2009-12, was released in the offseason by Detroit, for whom he played his final six seasons. Quin announced his retirement via an Instagram video in which one of his sons detailed their plans to spend more time together.
"Playing professional sports was always a dream of mine. Football was the route I chose and God blessed me to be able to persevere through all the hardships and play 10 years in the NFL," Quin told ESPN. "I'm so thankful for the opportunity I had to play in the NFL with such great players and two great organizations."
