Pat McAfee
It might seem strange to lament the early retirement of a punter, but the Colts’ Pat McAfee was a fan favorite in Indianapolis for his sense of humor and active social media presence, and he was no slouch on the field either, leading the NFL in net punting yards in 2015 and average yards in 2016. He retired after only eight seasons to pursue a successful media career, and he will be the color analyst for ESPN’s Thursday Night College Football in 2019.
