Professional career
Pitcock was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts in the third round (98th overall) of the 2007 NFL Draft. He opted to retire after just one season in the NFL[1] due to bouts of depression and video game addiction.[2]
During his retirement, the Indianapolis Colts and Quinn's agents helped him to rehab after being diagnosed with mild depression and ADHD. The Colts considered letting him compete for a roster spot during their 2010 training camp, but felt it would be a distraction to the team.[3]
After being waived from the reserve/did not report list by the Colts, Pitcock officially came out of retirement and signed with the Seattle Seahawks on August 4, 2010.[4] However, he was waived by the Seahawks during final cuts on September 4, 2010.
Pitcock worked out for the Philadelphia Eagles following his release from Seattle, but was not offered a contract.
On July 29, 2011, Pitcock signed with the Detroit Lions. [5]
