Andrew Luck is considered one of the most iconic college football players of all time. During his career at Stanford he was widely recognized as one of the most promising NFL quarterback prospects ever, winning awards such as the Maxwell, Walter Camp, and Johnny Unitas Golden Arm as a senior.
Andrew graduated Stanford with a degree in architectural design and was selected first overall by the Indianapolis Colts in the 2012 NFL Draft. He became a mainstay in the Indianapolis offense after an electrifying rookie season where he led the Colts to an 11-5 record – the most wins for a rookie quarterback drafted first overall ever in the history of the NFL. Andrew ranks in the top 5 in passing touchdowns and passing yards in a player's first six seasons in the NFL, and earned Pro Bowl honors four times during his professional playing career. Always learning, Andrew started and ran a book club for fellow NFL players while he was in the league.
After seven seasons, Andrew retired from the NFL and returned to California. A fulltime dad, he shares two daughters, Lucy and Penelope, with his wife Nicole, a former Stanford gymnast who represented the Czech Republic in international competition. In 2022, Andrew was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. He completed a master’s degree in education at the Stanford Graduate School of Education, and is currently a volunteer football coach at Palo Alto High School.
Why practice is the key to success.
