Former Colts linebacker Pat Angerer calls it a career
In four seasons with the Colts, Angerer played in 54 games (39 starts) and was the team’s leading tackler in 2011. A foot injury in the 2012 preseason opener was the start of two injury plagued final seasons for Angerer in Indianapolis. Angerer posted this on his Twitter account today.
His former teammates made sure they encouraged him on his retirement.
