“Andrew Luck will never be the same”
Plenty of people were fearful of what quarterback Andrew Luck would look like this year. Shoulder injuries are tricky for quarterbacks. The one he had was especially dangerous as he seemed to have nagging pain for a longer time than expected. Some started to think he might never play again, and even if he did he’d never be the same player he was.
Turns out they jumped the gun on that. Luck didn’t waste much time returning to form for the Indianapolis Colts. He still throws the ball with sizzle, rallies the team in desperate situations and is basically the entire offense. He’s thrown for 1,782 yards, 16 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions so far. He’s on pace to throw for 42 touchdowns and 4,752 yards. That’s pretty good.
