Quinn Pitcock says NFL teams are afraid of him because of his addiction to video games. He also claims that if he was into drugs or alcohol, teams wouldn't think twice. Drafted by the Colts in 2007 out of Ohio State, the defensive lineman appeared in nine games and showed promise as a rookie. That all made his sudden retirement before the 2008 season all the more puzzling. "It was a rash decision," he said. "As soon as I made it, I wanted to play right away, but I was scared they didn't want me back." Pitcock, who calls himself an introvert, sunk into a daily regimen that included 18-hour sessions of Xbox online. "The only way I could get my endorphins was by playing video games," he said. "I would break the games, try to get rid of them, but I couldn't stop. I'd say, 'Quinn, what are you doing?' Physically, I could not put down a video game." The Colts helped connect Pitcock with a psychologist and his recovery began in earnest. He's now a member of the Arena League's Orlando Predators, but wants another shot at the NFL. "It's more on whether a team feels they can trust what I can do," Pitcock said. "I think teams are worried I may relapse. They're more comfortable with a drug addiction. It's unfortunate. It definitely hinders my chances."
