Brodie Croyle, former Chiefs QB, has retired
Former Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Brodie Croyle has laced up his cleats for the last time. Croyle, the Chiefs’ third-round draft pick in 2006, told The Birmingham News this past weekend that he has retired from football.
While it was hoped that the prolific, albeit oft-injured passer from Alabama could anchor the quarterback position, he – like all too many others who have come after Len Dawson – ended up being a place holder. Sadly, Croyle’s story was less about his time on the field than the continual mantra from the organization that this was going to be his year to shine. It was a promise never fulfilled as he failed to earn a single win in 10 career starts over his five-year career with the Chiefs.
