Former Colts quarterback Andrew Luck took out a full-page ad in the Indianapolis Star on Sunday to thank his fans following his decision to retire last week.
"Thank you for an incredible eight years," Luck wrote. "For welcoming me with open arms. For helping me grow on and off the field. For helping [his wife] Nicole and I make Indiana our home. And for showing us the true meaning of Hoosier hospitality.
"It has been the honor of a lifetime to represent the Colts and the city of Indianapolis on the world's stage," he continued.
