People are weird.  I mean Quinn Pitcock retired after only year in the league because playing football interfered too much with his video games.  

It could be personal issues.  It could be health concerns.  It could be the realisation that he's destined to be nothing more than a career backup or that he has to work harder and sacrifice more than he's willing to to be at that level.  A lot of guys coast on raw talent and physical gifts in college in a structure where there's a definite pecking order and never really had to compete for a spot.  When you think it's your time and you're getting beat out by a rookie and a guy who was out of the league last year, it's a blow to the ego.
