Andrew Luck has not shown ‘any desires’ to return to NFL
Indianapolis Colts fans still holding out hope that quarterback Andrew Luck will see the error of his ways and make a glorious return may want to start letting go for good.
According to XFL CEO and commissioner Oliver Luck, Andrew’s father, he has not expressed interest in returning to the NFL after his sudden retirement before the start of the 2019 season.
Oliver Luck had this to say to Damon Amendolara on “The DA Show:”
“My wife and I spent some time with him and his growing family. He just got his first child about six weeks ago. We were with him over Christmas. He’s doing great. I have not noticed any desires to come back and play, but he’s doing very well.”
Luck announced his retirement in August just shy of his 30th birthday, citing the series of injuries that took away from his love of the sport.

At the end of the season, general manager Chris Ballard reiterated that Luck is retired and “we all need to accept that.”
