TERRE HAUTE, Ind. ? Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle Quinn Pitcock has retired, according to his agent.
The announcement ended a week of uncertainty regarding the team?s 2007 third-round draft pick.
?After much deliberation and careful thought, Quinn resolved to retire from the NFL,?? Brad Leshnock, Pitcock?s agent, said in an email to The Star late Tuesday. ?He notified the Colts of this decision last week.
?Quinn is grateful for the opportunity the Colts gave him, and he wishes his teammates and the whole organization nothing but the best going forward.??
Pitcock, 24, could not immediately be reached for comment. He was placed on the NFL?s reserve/did not report list when he failed to show up with the teammates last Thursday for the start of training camp. He appeared in nine games as a rookie, one as a starter.
He was expected to play an important role in the Colts' defensive line rotation this year, backing up likely starting tackles Ed Johnson and Keyunta Dawson.

Wow. Just catching word of this, its been a busy week for me so Im runnin slow on updates. Wow, simply...wow....
The Colts message boards went crazy over this, so it just goes to show how much promise and talent this guy has. Oh well, maybe playing football isn't important, but coaching might be? He seemed to enjoy his time at his old college mates Ohio camps. Depending upon his degree, he could be suited for a high school coach or work his way up on the
OSU staff? The kid will have endless posibilities for his future. Best of luck to him.
