Former star quarterback Andrew Luck is making a shock return to football, it has been reported.
The Pro Bowl passer, now 35, shocked the NFL in August 2019 when he walked away from the NFL after just seven seasons due to injuries.
But he’s now set to return to high-level football as the GM for his alma mater the Stanford Cardinal, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
Luck, who starred at Stanford from 2009 to 2011, will be positioned ‘above the entire program’ in his role and oversee coaching, player personnel, recruiting and more.
The two-time Heisman Trophy runner-up will also have various business obligations, according to Thamel, such as fundraising and sponsorships.
Luck had spent two seasons as a volunteer assistant coach at Palo Alto High School, but this role at Stanford marks his first job with a college or NFL team since hanging his cleats up.
