He is seemingly willing to give that all up to continue his life and professional career off the field.Instant ReactionI am shocked, although as a Lions fan I have lived through several shocking retirements. Unlike the retirements of HOF running back Barry Sanders and future HOF wide receiver Calvin Johnson, Andrew Luck leaves a talented, playoff contender. Andrew Luck is just 29 years of age, and although he has battled injuries, many analysts expected Luck to have a breakout year after being named the NFL Comeback Player of the Year in 2018.Luck leaving the Colts leaves the team in a complete mess.

For Colts fans, I feel for you. No one saw this coming and your team does not have any easy road back to contention.Luck will be remembered as a quarterback with supreme talent and an above average ability to get injured. He was seemingly past his injuries and ready to rise to the top of the league.Watching the Bears vs. Colts preseason game, fans were literally crying and taking their Andrew Luck jerseys off in the stands as they heard of the news.All I can say is wow! Best of luck to Luck throughout the rest of his life, and I'm sorry Colts fans, you were just dealt a really tough hand to play with.What do you think of this surprise news?
