Andrew Luck daps up defenders who hit him

[hood b. goode]

Luck has become famous for congratulating—sincerely and enthusiastically—any player to hit him hard. Any sack is met with a hearty congratulations, such as ”great job” or “what a hit!” He yells it after hard hits that don’t result in sacks, too. It is, players say, just about the weirdest thing any quarterback does in the NFL.

When New England pass rusher Rob Ninkovich pulverized Luck last month in a Patriots’ 42-20 win, he got the customary congratulations. As Ninkovich tells it, he found himself paralyzed with confusion by the well-wishes, so he blurted out “Thanks for...uh...accepting that hit?” before running back to the huddle.

Defensive back Nolan Carroll, who has hit Luck three times and with two teams, remembers the first time it happened while he was with the Miami Dolphins last year. Carroll, now with the Philadelphia Eagles, was blitzing off the edge and got to Luck, knocking him down just after he released the ball. Carroll was walking back to the huddle when he heard “Great job, Nolan!” He turned around, searching for the person who said it—maybe it was a teammate, he thought. “Then I realized it was Luck who said it. I’m like ‘what’s going on? Aren’t you supposed to be mad?’” Carroll said. “So then I’m the one who gets ticked off because an upbeat attitude isn’t something you see.”

I used to hate on Luck but can't anymore. All he does is play football, hard.

I lot of people hate him because he came in with a lot of Hype and they felt RG3 was better. Truth is the mofo can flat out play. But some people already had their minds set on hate so they'll continue to try hard to find reasons to.

I cant front i was skeptical about him just as I am of anyone who gets props before they play. But i'm alsi the first to admit when im wrong. See my apology thread from when i used to sh!t on Eli Manning

I think it would be great if Luck had some nice handwritten congrats cards hidden in his gear and when a guy makes a pick or a sack, he hands them out like a British Baron in the early 1900s or something. Good job Sir! I'll get you next time! Sincerely, A. Luck

hard to hate on a guy 100% committed to his craft and nothing else.
