I haven't listened yet, but I always thought his retirement must've had more to do with things other than his injuries.
Maybe I'm wrong. But people always talked about his interests outside of football. And he got married before the season and his daughter was due in the middle of the season... Was it inevitable?
Guys like Patrick Willis, Calvin Johnson, Luke Kuechly, even Barry Sanders way back... They all got out early while still among the best at their positions, too.
It's just sick to think about because of what we saw in 2018. It was only going to get better.
