The former Indianapolis Colts star dealt with ankle, abdomen, leg, and most notably shoulder ailments over his seven-year stint as a professional. A harsh reality that caused him to abruptly retire just two weeks before the start of the 2019 regular season.

Luck eventually returned to the field in 2018, helping the Colts reach the playoffs yet again under Frank Reich before his abrupt retirement. Pagano, meanwhile, took that year off before reemerging as the Chicago Bears' defensive coordinator, a position he held until his retirement in 2021.
