Wow. Hopefully he still has his health, or can regain what he may have lost. Amazing, HOF player.

He had a lot of injuries the past few years. I'm more surprised he's only 28

He has had several concussions too so I am sure that was a consideration.

Good for him. This is a decision more players should make. Kuechly is only 28 years old, he's got his whole life ahead of him and plenty of money. His wife is a doctor. Its not worth risking being crippled or having CTE in your 40s.

Back and support this type of activity. Especially if concussions were involved and it's a loved one. Time for the next chapter honey. Happy wife happy life they say.

I think it was time for him to retire.@"StickyBun" said: Good for him. This is a decision more players should make.
