As the NFL midpoint approaches, many teams, professional and collegiate alike, have found a silver lining in their otherwise disappointing seasons. One such silver lining is Stanford All-American QB Andrew Luck. He is widely considered the number one pick in the 2012 draft, and he comes with a lot of promise. Many analysts and experts have compared Luck to All-Pros such as Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, John Elway and others. He is wildly intelligent, has the rocket arm, as well as the accuracy, the size and the poise to be an NFL poster boy.
Had Luck entered the draft last year, he would have easily been selected number one overall rather than Heisman winner, Cam Newton. Many people were shocked at his decision to stay in school, but they figured he’d still be the hands-down number one pick this following year.
Now in 2011, Luck is the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy and has begun to build the hype for his future in the pros. You could say that the Andrew Luck sweepstakes are in full swing, and one could even contend that the worst teams in the NFL are now battling for the right to draft Luck. An online campaign entitled “Suck For Luck” has also hit the web, and has become a popular trending topic on Twitter. With all that being said, let’s look at the current teams who have to lose the most to eventually gain the most.
