    Hoke Officially Retiring

    Steelers FB:

    The Pittsburgh Steelers
    Nose Tackle Chris Hoke has announced that he will retire after 11 seasons with the Steelers. In Hoke’s 18 career starts during the regular season, the Steelers had a record of 17-1.

    -------------

    We all kinda had that feeling he would. Thanks for everything Hoke you were awesome!

    Kind of stinks but I think we all saw this coming. I still have days where I miss seeing Kimo von Oelhoffen.

    Best of luck Hokie! Team is going to definitely miss the security blanket we had as the backup NT and the character you were in the locker room.

    Re: Hoke Officially Retiring

    I wonder when his one loss as a starter came . He could have been the only player in the history of the NFL to go undefeated as a starter

    Unfortunate injury, you probably had another year or two. Thanks for all your hard work.

    Re: Hoke Officially Retiring

    Did he retire or did the FO just not offer a new contract? I get confused lately.

    Thanks for the memories, Hokie! You served us well!

    Re: Hoke Officially Retiring

    You did the right thing. Risking spending the rest of your life in a wheelchair isnt worth it for playing a game. To have a job in the NFL is a luxury, good for you for not taking it for granted. Now go have fun with you family Hokie!

    I hope Hoke has a happy retirement. As for the Steelers I hope this is enough for them to finally draft a NT

    I'm glad he is. Really shouldn't fool around with those neck issues

    thanks for everything Hokie, hope we see you as a coach one day!

    Hoke is a pretty big Aquabats fan, from what I understand.

    He walks away w/2 rings. He was a valuable backup and a big part of the defensive success.
