When news of Andrew Luck’s sudden retirement hit East Rutherford on Saturday night, one combatant in the New York Jets-New Orleans Saints preseason tilt felt the impact a little more than others.
Jets defensive lineman Henry Anderson played in the Indianapolis Colts’ colors from 2015-17. After the Jets’ 28-13 loss, Anderson reflected on the news, which made its way to each team’s sideline during the course of the game.
“He was a tough dude. He got hit a bunch when I was there and played through a lot of aches and pains,” Anderson recalled, per Randy Lange of the Jets official website.
