Indianapolis Colts young receivers’ crop celebrates QB Andrew Luck for their success – NFL News
The younger crop of receivers on the Indianapolis Colts’ offensive line is full praise for rookie quarterback and offence leader Andrew Luck who, they believe, being a young player, understands their situation and has managed well to tackle it.
Almost all five rookie receivers are impressed the way Luck has thrown to them and credit their success to him, with a bit of feeling that they might have had faltered in case they were on the receiving end of throws from a veteran QB. This they say is a
positive difference on the line.
Tight end Dwayne Allen says:
"A guy runs the wrong route or breaks the wrong way, he understands because he's a young guy, too. If you're dealing with a veteran quarterback, you might get fused out or something like that, and that might cause you to lose a little bit of confidence.
Andrew's a young guy, just like us. He understands that we all make mistakes, him included, so he tries to make us feel as comfortable as possible."
Wide receiver T.Y. Hilton adds:
"We're still figuring out each other. We're young, but we've got a few veterans we can lean on. We're growing and the bond is getting stronger."
It is yet again that Luck has been approved of his leadership skills. Although he is in first pro year, he acts like a veteran, and a particular point here that has been noted time and again is that his capability to understand the situation and act or react
accordingly is very impressive. It is the unique characteristic of his skills that has made people in Indianapolis forget impressive Peyton Manning too soon.
Almost all commentators have endorsed the level of maturity that the rookie quarterback has shown so far. This is something that has impressed owner Jim Irsay more than any other member of the organisation. He has often spoken very high of the quarterback.
Luck himself has been hearing the praise in his favour all along but has not shown any sign of complacency, which again shows his attitude towards handling all the matters with a perfect approach.
