Colts’ QB who shocked the league just scored spot on NFL’s elite ranking

When fans think "Indianapolis Colts" and "quarterback," the first name that will inevitably come to mind is Peyton Manning, and maybe Johnny Unitas as a runner-up. Both are legendary QBs who will be celebrated throughout NFL history forever. But there's another Colts quarterback who will always be remembered... but for a more painful reason.

Andrew Luck was meant to be the next Peyton Manning for the Colts, and for a bright, shining moment, he was. Luck burst onto the scene with not only incredible skill and talent, but toughness, too; nothing could keep him down.

He played through severe injuries, like a lacerated kidney and a torn abdominal muscle.
