Last season Luck completed 61.7% of his passes and led the NFL with 40 touchdowns as the Colts went 11-5, finished in first place in the AFC South and reached the conference championship game.

The 25-year-old has started all 48 of Indianapolis's regular season games since the team selected him with the first pick in the 2012 draft out of Stanford.
