NFL Players Are Now Openly Fantasizing About Playing With Andrew Luck

Stanford lost the Fiesta Bowl last night, but quarterback Andrew Luck played a sensational game in his college finale, completing 27 of 31 passes for 347 yards and two touchdowns. Luck, as you probably know, is a virtual lock to be to be the first pick of this year’s NFL Draft, and so highly regarded is Luck that an entire movement sprang up consisting of fans hoping their teams would have terrible seasons so they could draft the quarterback.

Well, all that’s over – the Colts have officially locked up the top pick. But it still isn’t keeping people from dreaming – and now, it’s not just fans. No, Luck is now a near-mythical figure who even inspires current NFL players to long for a day when Luck might wind up under center for their team:

And that’s not just any old “player on a subpar team that will almost certainly not wind up with Luck” talking. London Fletcher is a highly respected veteran who led the NFL in tackles this season. We just can’t believe he’d potentially undermine the Redskins organization’s rock-solid faith in Rex Grossman and John B-ahahahahahahahahahahaha just kidding.

Really, though, we are a bit surprised Fletcher would so publicly pine for Luck, though we guess if anyone can do that, it’s probably a 14-year veteran, two-time Pro Bowler who made the most tackles of the 2000s. It’s just too bad there’s no way Luck-to-the-Skins will actually happen.
