Ever since Orton retired in one of the most unique ways in the history of retirements, he has maintained a low profile. He lives with his wife and children in Baton Rouge. His marriage brought a drastic change in him; there are no more sloshed and wasted pictures of him throughout college and NFL, and he had groomed himself out of that weirdly shaped but his signature neck-beard. Orton keeps family photographs, which show how happy and content he is in his life, and he also sports a clean-shaven look. However, the world will remember him for being one of the most frustrating quarterbacks in the history of the NFL.
At the University of Washington, Locker was one of the topmost talents and amazed the scouts with his extraordinary potential and intangibles. The Titans, in 2006, were all grumbling at their own disappointing pick in Vince Young and had jumped viciously all over Locker. However, his career did not get the hype as promised since he only started twenty-three out of sixty-four possible games in a span of over four years. He had to undergo a series of injuries in the upper and lower parts of his body, and this stopped the former college star from shining brightly in his professional field.
Kyle Orton
The world saw the rise of Orton in a very conflicted way; you would initially hate him but then slowly start growing on him! He had a very unconventional look and did not win many hearts with his strange haircuts and the odd neck-beard. Weirdly, he somehow never had the ability to express his emotions and take charge of the games. Yet his fans saw him play in the field for ten long years and even become a consistent starter for many teams.
Orton started his career with the Chicago Bears in 2005, where he was kept as a backup. He forayed into the limelight when he got to play in the place of starting Quarterman Rex Grossman, who had to face a severe injury. This opportunity proved to be a golden chance for Orton, and he grabbed it to showcase his talent in front of the world. However, despite starting for a number of teams, he never really made any significant mark on his career.
Keeping Quiet
Orton might not have never made it to the headlines because of his matches, he became the talk of the town on the account of his retirement! He made it quite dramatic, but without bringing out his emotions! He went into the locker room, which was obviously full of his teammates, and told them he was to go attend a meeting. He grabbed a few of his belongings and left, obviously never coming back again!

No Pain, No Gain
The Fact That Locker had endured so much pain did not actually yield any result, as his paychecks were not worth it. Eventually, he announced his retirement during the 2014 season. After his retirement, Locker went back to Washington and now leads a simple life there with his wife and kids. He prefers to remain out of the focus of the camera and avoids meeting fans as much as he can. Locker totally barred the part of his life where he was on the field and now spends his time hunting, taking care of animals on the farm, and being a completely doting father to his children.
Everyone who has been a Titan fan might flinch at the prospect of what they could have been. The way they had to draft three quarterbacks right in the top ten to weigh the options on which one would work out is just sad! But Locking doing away with his career in football has been a blessing in disguise.
Josh Freeman
Freeman, freshly out of Kansas State, was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as the 17th overall in 2009. The Buccaneers had a vision in their mind that he, with his 6-foot-6 and 240 pounds, would lead their team deep into the playoffs. They thought that this person would instill a sense of fear into the opposing defenses every Sunday! If there were so much of expectations, what went wrong then? The Buccaneers did not take into account the fact that this quarterback would be with the team only for 5 seasons and be a part of the league for only a total of 7! In fact, he went against the expectations of everyone so much so that the world was shell-shocked to find him lastly winding up with the Brooklyn Bolts of the Fall Experimental Football League.
During his 5th season in Tampa, Freeman was released when they found zero suitors willing to trade for the former first-rounder. After this, the Vikings signed him only for one game. He then spent some time jumping around with the FXFL before ultimately signing with the Colts. Even then, he did not play for more than one match, and this obviously brought an inevitable end to his NFL career!
