Luck Finds Purpose Again as Stanford’s Football GM
Former No. 1 overall pick, Andrew Luck sounded at peace with life after playing, but still tethered to football in a different way. As Stanford’s football GM, Luck is immersed in roster management, NIL conversations, and selling a vision he still believes in. He said he would choose Stanford again in today’s NIL era, confident the program can balance elite academics and competitiveness. What he misses most is simple: being part of a team and the stress of game days. Coaching never felt right, but his current role and purpose at his Alma mater feels just right.
