FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- For many Carolina Panther s fans, Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck represents hope for a beaten-up franchise that will officially finish off the NFL's worst record and its entire coaching staff today.
There is no such thing as a surefire NFL savior. But after getting a firsthand look at Luck and talking to many around him over the past few days, I'm convinced Luck is as close as you can get.
Luck, a redshirt sophomore, has until Jan.15 to decide whether he will enter the 2011 NFL draft. If Luck does enter - and that decision won't be made until sometime after Monday night's Orange Bowl - the Panthers would be absolute fools not to take him with the No. 1 overall pick they hold. Luck has the heart of a defensive lineman wrapped in the 6-foot-4, 235-pound prototype body of an NFL quarterback.
Luck's teammates and coaches love him for his unselfishness - he always turns off ESPN whenever he sees his face on the screen - and stand in awe of his ability. He has an uncommonly cosmopolitan background and a thunderbolt for a right arm, but the best stories I have heard about Luck mostly involve him running over people.
