While making an appearance on FS1's "First Things First," Chuck Pagano had high praise for Andrew Luck.

Luck missed last season with a shoulder injury and the Indianapolis Colts fired Pagano after a 4-12 record.

"I love Andrew Luck," Pagano told FS1. "He got me more years than I probably deserved. He's a phenom."

Pagano and Luck had early success with the Colts with three consecutive 11-5 seasons and postseason appearances from 2012 to 2015.
