Andrew Luck was in London last week to promote the NFL and the Indianapolis Colts.
Luck was asked about the Patriots, answering honestly when he assessed Tom Brady and company as the “kings of the NFL” — “Right Now.”
“The Patriots are obviously the defending Super Bowl champs and our defending conference champs so there’s a high amount of respect for that team and what they do,” Luck told BritViewNFL.com. “They’re the kings of the league right now and everybody would like to dethrone them — we’d like to dethrone them but you have to look at the season as 16 games. There are fans and media who will hype up certain games and circle them in red on the calendar but, as a player, you lose sight of what’s important if you get into that mode.”
The Colts have gone 11-5 in the three seasons since drafting Luck, getting within a game of the Super Bowl, before getting rolled by New England.
