Andrew Austen Luck is a former American football quarterback who played in the National Football League (NFL) for seven seasons with the Indianapolis Colts. Following his collegiate success, he was selected first overall by the Colts in the 2012 NFL Draft.
Luck made an impact within his first year by setting the rookie records for most passing yards in a season and game while leading a Colts team that went 2–14 the previous year to an 11–5 record and a playoff berth.
In the postseason, Luck oversaw the NFL’s second-largest playoff comeback during the 2013 playoffs and helped the Colts reach the 2014 AFC Championship Game. He earned Pro Bowl honours during his first three years and led the league in passing touchdowns in 2014.
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. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2022.
