  MICHIGAN IN THE PROS BY CHRIS BALAS F our years into his NFL career, for- mer Michigan offensive lineman Steve Schilling has decided to call it quits. A knee injury prematurely ended his season last year in Seat- tle, and Schilling has apparently had enough of professional football. "It's just a personal choice for me at this time in my life," Schilling told The Seattle Times. "I wouldn't say there was any one reason or not. Just more of a personal choice." The Times reported that Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll had been optimistic he'd re-sign the player he once recruited when he was head coach at USC. Instead, he'll search for his replacement. "I had high hopes for that happen- ing," Carroll said of the team's desire to sign Schilling. "I had high hopes that we could. We were excited about it."   MICHIGAN IN THE PROS Steve Schilling Retires From The NFL Schilling, who spent the first three years of his career with the San Diego Chargers before joining the Seattle Seahawks in 2014, suffered a knee injury that limited him to eight games last season.
