Andrew Luck

Andrew Austen Luck was born in Washington, DC and is a former quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts. Luc attended Stratford High School, where he threw for 7,139 yards and 53 touchdowns in his high school career, and rushed for another 2,085 yards. Luck was also co-valedictorian of his graduating class in 2008. He was considered a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, and was listed as the No. 4 pro-style quarterback in the class of 2008.

Luck played college football for Stanford University, won the Maxwell Award and Walter Camp Award as college football's player of the year, and was recognized as an All-American. He was the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy in both 2010 and 2011 and was named the Offensive Player of the Year in the Pac-12 Conference in both 2010 and 2011. Although widely projected as the first overall selection in the 2011 NFL Draft, Luck decided to return to Stanford for his redshirt junior season. A year later, he was selected first overall in the 2012 NFL Draft.

In his first two professional seasons, Luck has led the Colts to two playoff appearances including one division title in 2013 and earned a Pro Bowl selection in each season. In the 2013-14 NFL playoffs, he led the Colts to the second largest playoff comeback in NFL history.

Over the next three seasons, Luck struggled with injuries that would eventually sideline him for the entirety of 2017. He returned to form the following year, which saw him set career-highs in attempts, completions, completion percentage, and passer rating and bring the Colts back to the playoffs. For his success, Luck was named Comeback Player of the Year and voted to a fourth Pro Bowl. However, citing the injuries he sustained, Luck retired ahead of the 2019 season at the age of 29. He is considered by some to be among the best professional athletes to end their career during their prime.
