Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck, according to sources, would be the first pick of the NFL draft by the Carolina Panthers if he were to declare for it. As reported on SportsFullCircle’s Twitter earlier, however, Luck will not be entering.
Because he wants to stay with the Stanford Cardinal football program in addition to pursuing a degree in architecural design at one of the most prestigious universities in the nation, the sophomore will be staying put.
Many may find this to be a shocking decision. Last year, Washington quarterback Jake Locker was an early projection to be the first quarterback off the board, but he did not declare for the 2010 Draft, and his stock fell.
With a lockout threatening, it is possible that Luck would not have faced action in his first season as a pro, which may have possibly factored into his decision.
I haven’t noticed this post before, but now it’s obvious that this is a stupid move on the part of Luck. He would have been the unquestioned first pick of the draft, and now he will risk injury and a loss of a year with another year. That, and when he does commit to the draft, the rookie salary cap might finally be in place. Carolina isn’t a bad team for a rookie to go to, I’m shocked he didn’t go to the NFL when his coach did.
