The life of Andrew Luck is one that has been one of the biggest enigmas in all of sports. 

The former Stanford quarterback and No. 1 overall pick by the Indianapolis Colts stepped away from football at just 29 years old following a slew of injuries, and unlike most people in this day and age lives an off-the-grid lifestyle. We learned last year that he was in the process of attending Stanford again as a graduate student, and now based on a report from Alex Simon of The Mercury News, we have learned he has returned to football in Palo Alto. Kind of.

Simon reported that Luck has taken a part-time coaching job at Palo Alto High School, which is of course down the road from Stanford.

Maybe it's his way of passing some time or giving back, or maybe it's the start to a coaching career for the recently inducted College Football Hall of Fame member
