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.

Unfortunate injury, you probably had another year or two. Thanks for all your hard work.
Thank you for everything you've done. We will miss you.
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!

always gave his best for the steelers ! hope he has a happy retirement from the game , thanks hokie
What a bummer, but better that than a broken neck. He will be missed.
See you Space Cowboy ...
shitty he got forced out b/c of an injury and not being able to go out on his own terms.. he will def be missed on the d-line and locker room

Thanks for your service Hokey.
Now on to the next phase of your life:
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

He walks away w/2 rings. He was a valuable backup and a big part of the defensive success.
Have a nice life Hokey, we're going to miss you !

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

Will definitely be missed. Thanks for all of the hard work and effort. Could have started anywhere and we were lucky to have him here. Well earned Superbowl rings
Sad see you go Hokey. You will be missed.
Hokey thanks for your service here and, you will be missed. He really played at a high level whenever his number got called and, he seemed like a great guy as well. Good luck Hokey!
