Some insiders expect Andrew Luck to try to pick his NFL team in a way that becomes similar to John Elway in 1983 and Eli Manning in 2004.
"Absolutely. I've heard that for the last two years," said one college scout. "There's no question that it could be a Manning thing all over again."
Luck's father Oliver is the athletic director of West Virginia and a former NFL quarterback.
"We talked about this before (Luck's sophomore) season started," said the scout. "Some people know the dad well, and the hands-on approach he has. In Andrew's defense, he seems pretty in control of everything. So I could see it being a mutual decision. And if he can control it, why play behind a (crappy) offensive line, or in a bad situation? He's gonna have that control. If he doesn't like the team there, all he has to do is voice that, and there'll be teams looking to trade up.
"The Luck camp has a ton of firepower here. More than anyone I can remember."
