Indianapolis Colts TE Jack Doyle Announces Sudden Retirement

A day that many have been anticipating has finally come, as Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle announced his retirement from the NFL. Doyle expressed his decision to walk away from the game in a statement released on Colts’ social media Monday afternoon.

Jack Doyle's statement

Growing up in Indianapolis in the late 90's/2000's it was impossible to not be a diehard Colts fan. Getting the chance to play 9 seasons for the team I have always and will always cheer for has been a dream come true. It is something that is hard to describe. I now go back to being the fan I have always been and retiring from the great game of football. I have a deep love for the game of football.

Jack Doyle added

"There are too many people to thank on this journey that has truly shaped who I am. It would be impossible to name them all and I am sure I will miss many."

Jack Doyle thanks his family

"Thank you to my incredible wife, Casie. Without your relentless support through the ups and downs of my career I would never have made it to this point. My sons, Ronan and Henry, for keeping me young and adding more joy to my life than they will ever know. Thank you to my parents and my entire family for your continuing support not only in my career, but in my life."

Jack Doyle thanks to coaches, trainers and more

"Thank you to the strength coaches, trainers, doctors, equipment staff and all other members of the Colts organization for the countless hours and for helping me in so many ways."

Jack Doyle thanks his whole teammates

"Thank you to my teammates. Out of everything, being called a teammate was what I took the most pride in. I have been blessed with some of the best teammates and they will forever be my friends. Being a teammate is what I will miss the most. I firmly believe that there is nothing better than being a teammate in the greatest team sport."

Jack Doyle concluded

"Last but not least, thank you to the amazing fans. I know from my personal childhood experience and into my own career that Colts Nation is a special breed. Your support through the long NFL seasons does not go unnoticed. We could not do what we love without you. I took pride in representing you every Sunday."
