<p>I'm not usually one to post about sports, but this couldn't have happened to a more deserving or nicer guy. He sounds pretty stoked about being a guest on Letterman too while he's in NYC.

<p>Hopefully the Indy fans will be patient and not expect instant success overnight. There isn’t a whole lot of talent surrounding him at the moment. RG3 has a better supporting cast and may get off to a faster start. I’m really rooting for AL. It was the obvious pick for Indy to make. Hope his O-line can protect him.</p>
<p>^Agreed. Luck’s shown himself to be good both at motivating everyone around him and at managing expectations, so prospects are good. I think it’s great that he took the extra year at Stanford to graduate, putting his #1 draft position potentially on the line to do so, and still came out the #1 pick the following year. That says as much about Stanford and what it means to Luck as it does about him.</p>
