Glover Quin Retires From The NFL
Pro Bowl
He spent most of his carer with the Detroit Lions
where he is second all-time among Lions defensive backs in tackles. I think the most impressive thing about Quin's career is his durability. Glover Quin played in all 16 games in 9 of the 10 seasons of his career. His best year would have been 2014 when he lead the NFL in interceptions with 7.
"Football was never who I was as a person. It was always what I had done. I wanted to use football as a stepping stone into the rest of my life and not let football be my life. I always only wanted to play 10 years. Said if I was able to walk off the field after the last game in Year 10, it would be really hard for me to walk back on. I'm young, I'm healthy and I got a lot of life to live. So I'm walking away from the game of football."He announced his retirement via Instagram.
