The Cincinnati Bengals' official site is reporting that linebacker David Pollack is retiring.
Pollack was the Bengals' 1st round pick in the 2005 Draft (17th overall) out of Georgia. He had a promising career that ended in Week 2 of the 2006 season against the Cleveland Browns. He broke his neck (the sixth cervical vertebrae) while trying to tackle Browns running back Reuben Droughns.
Pollack missed the rest of the 2006 and all of 2007 season as he attempted to make a comeback. However, last week he told Bengals coach Marvin Lewis that he was medically cleared to play, but didn't feel comfortable enough to play football.
During a news conference today, Lewis announced Pollack's retirement.
The 2005 Draft has become a tough one for the Bengals and has filled the news columns of late. Pollack was the first round pick and played just over one season. Second round pick Odell Thurman was just reinstated into the league yesterday. Thurman has missed the past two seasons for violating the league's substance abuse policy. Third round pick Chris Henry was released by the team after his umpteenth run in with the law.
Fifth round pick Adam Kieft has spent all of his career on the injured list.
