Andrew Luck is a former football quarterback who played in the National Football League (NFL) for seven seasons with the Indianapolis Colts. He was one of the most highly touted amateur prospects during his college football career at Stanford University, winning the Maxwell, Walter Camp, and Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Awards as a senior.
Luck retired from football in August 2019, which shocked the sports world. He revealed that chronic pain, both physical and mental, made him someone he didnt like. Lucks body was disintegrating, and he had suffered multiple injuries, including a torn labrum, a partial abdominal tear, and a lacerated kidney. He also felt that life as a superstar quarterback was limiting at times and that he could have been an engineer, an architect, a scientist, or anything else.
Luck retreated from the public eye after his retirement, and he turned down every interview request lobbed his way. He enrolled in graduate school at Stanford University to teach and coach.
