Colts quarterback Andrew Luck’s abrupt retirement at the age of 29 stunned the football world back in 2019.
Luck ascended in the football world at Stanford Stadium. He abruptly ended the climb four years ago, but the rumors have never stopped that he might come back one day.
The life of Andrew Luck is one that has been one of the biggest enigmas in all of sports. Now he is going viral this week yet again.
The four-time Pro Bowler is back being around football as he has a new job of serving as an assistant coach at Palo Alto High School, a half-mile from Luck’s old Stanford Stadium stomping grounds.
“It’s great to have someone of that caliber on your staff,” Vikings coach Dave DeGeronimo told The Mercury News’s Alex Simon. “The kids love it.”
The eventual No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft won back-to-back Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year awards and was named a Heisman finalist twice while playing at Stanford.

He went on to spend seven seasons in the NFL between 2012 and 2018, earning four Pro Bowl nods along the way. It would certainly be a lot more had he not retired, but he seems to be just fine with his decision.
Luck, who turned 34 on Tuesday, played six seasons with the Colts, who selected him No. 1 overall in the 2012 NFL Draft. A four-time Pro Bowl selection, he was 53-33 in his 86 games in Indianapolis, throwing for 23,671 yards with 171 touchdowns and 83 interceptions.
Here’s hoping he finds nothing but success in his new adventure.
