It’s a bittersweet day for Colts fans all over the world, as one of the staples on the team’s offensive line has called it a career.
Veteran left tackle Anthony Castonzo announced his retirement from the NFL on Tuesday, leaving the game at the young age of 32.
A cornerstone up front and in the community.
Happy retirement, @AnthonyCastonzo!

He was the Colts’ first-round draft pick in 2011 and spent all ten seasons with the team.
Not only was Castonzo known as one of the best blockers and protectors in the game, he was also known for his actions off the field in the community helping others.
The Colts will have to do a lot to fill the void on the field for Castonzo, who inked a two-year extension with the club last March.
