Andrew Luck, who is one of the biggest names in college football has just been drafted first into the National Football League. The spokesman takes his stand and continues with his second pick.and the second pick of the 2012 NFL Draft, the Washington Redskins select quarterback, Robert Griffin III. .
After a losing record of 2-14 for the Colts in the 2011 season, the only thing the team needed that would turn them around was a quarterback. During the end of the season in the year 2010, Peyton Manning underwent neck surgery due to his coming of age, resulting in a poor 2011 Colts season. As the 2012 season came to a start, Luck and the Colts were dominating competitors with outstanding yards per drive, Luck's passing yards, throwing touchdowns and rushing touchdowns. At the end of the season, Luck had 4,347 passing yards in total. As a rookie, this number is off the charts, almost hitting the same number as veteran quarterbacks such Drew Brees and Tom Brady. In these passing yards, Luck threw 23 touchdowns out of the 4,347 yards, just passing Carson Palmer of the Oakland Raiders. .
Matt Grecco, writer from the Stampede Blue also agrees that " Luck, Manning and Brady all played against the same defense in the playoffs.The Colts and Luck played better than both quarterbacks and teams." This shows Luck's ability and potential once again as a rookie, dominating veteran NFL quarterbacks and striving for success.
