It’s not often the Panthers face a quarterback that draws some physical and athletic comparisons to Cam Newton. But that’s the case this week with Andrew Luck and the Colts coming to town for Monday Night Football.
"Andrew Luck is a player very similar to our guy," head coach Ron Rivera said. "He has the ability to tuck it and run. He’s a good athlete. He’s got a great arm."
Luck and Newton – two big-bodied, strong-armed former No. 1 overall picks – have never played against each other. Both quickly established themselves to become two of the brightest young stars in the NFL.
