Andrew Luck emotionally left the NFL on Saturday, citing lack of joy and an inability to “live the life that (he) wants to live.” Luck told his teammates to expect a retirement on Sunday, but his deadline got moved up after news broke during the Colts third preseason game against the Chicago Bears.
During the announcement, Luck was seen talking calmly among his teammates on the sideline. After the game concluded, the media stormed the field to get a final picture of Luck walking off of the field. Something less-than-extraordinary happened as Luck left the field for the final time: Colts fans expressed their feelings by booing.
