A former Indianapolis Colts player has decided to hang up his cleats. 

With Joe Haeg announcing his retirement from the NFL over social media. 

The Colts drafted Haeg with the 155th pick in the 5th round of the 2016 NFL Draft. Haeg played his college football at North Dakota State. 

Haeg ended up being a really productive 5th-round pick for the Colts; he appeared in 15 games his rookie season and started 14 at RT. He would start 35 of his 55 games with the Colts from 2016-2019. His calling card was being so versatile an offensive lineman. He would line up at RT and both guard spots when his number was called. He truly was the team's go-to rotational offensive lineman; one may even say he was a sixth man of sorts. 

Haeg's career ended with three teams in three years after signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Cleveland Browns. The highlight of his career likely came in 2020, when he won a Super Bowl with the Buccaneers.
