Summary

Andrew Luck’s football career was bright. He was the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, a generational, cerebral quarterback who played for the Indianapolis Colts and actually lived up to the hype, making Pro Bowl after Pro Bowl after Pro Bowl. But in 2019, at the age of 29, Luck shocked the world when he suddenly announced he was retiring from football entirely. Since then, the onetime superstar and would-be face of the NFL has remained largely removed from public view…until now. Seth Wickersham conducted multiple in-depth interviews with Andrew Luck, where they discussed everything from his decision to leave football, where he’s been since…and if football is in his future.
