Andrew Luck . 17. player. 46. As stated before, Stanford just seems to churn out really good quarterbacks. The latest of the lot is Andrew Luck. Considered one of the best to come out of college in a long time, he immediately lived up to expectations by taking a 2-14 Indianapolis Colts team on his back and making the playoffs his rookie year. Through his first three season he went to three Pro Bowls and got his team to the AFC championship in 2014. It’s not a question any longer of whether he’s a superstar. <p> </p> <p>It’s whether the Colts will be able to make sure he has the career he should. Luck missed nine games last season with some pretty significant injuries that could threaten to get even worse if he continues to take the pound he has behind some mediocre offensive lines. The last time he made it through a full season he threw 40 touchdown passes. That doesn’t mean he’s Superman. Smarts and tough he may be, every man can only take so much.</p>. QB . Stanford
