Andrew Luck did not put up great numbers as a redshirt freshman in 2009, but at 6-4 and 235 pounds he has the look of an NFL quarterback. As a freshman at Stanford he completed 56.2 percent of his passes for 2,575 yards and 13 touchdowns. However, he showed plenty of poise and potential throwing just four interceptions. By the end of his freshman campaign he was looking like a great quarterback and there was plenty of reason for people already talking about him going pro after the 2010 season. Luck has not disappointed as a sophomore. The Cardinal attack has hit the air and through seven games Luck has completed 66.5 percent of his passes for 1,728 yards and an impressive 19 touchdowns. Luck is not much of a rushing threat, but he is quite elusive and has only been sacked three times this season. Occasionally he will even bust out a big run and actually has Stanford's longest run of the year at 52 yards.
Luck is still not a completely polished quarterback, but leading his team on a late game winning drive against USC was something that he has not done before. The NFL wants to see a poised quarterback and Luck was very poised and effective in that game winning drive. Right now he could be the first selection of the draft, but fellow Pac-10 quarterback Jake Locker will have something to say about that once the two meet up in workouts. However, Luck seems relatively sure that he will return to school for at least one more year, but what else is he supposed to say when he is leading a 6-1 team to a possible BCS bowl.
