While it is close to a foregone conclusion that the Indianapolis Colts will select Stanford Cardinal quarterback Andrew Luck with the No. 1 pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, it is Griffin that is expected to garner the most attention leading up to the draft toward the end of April.
Griffin III is a dual threat quarterback, as he can get it done through the air as well as on the ground. Think a smaller version of Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers, who was last year’s top overall draft pick. After watching him shatter so many rookie records last season, that has teams salivating over the possibility of drafting the reigning Heisman winner this year. He could be that special type of player.

This idea may be in the head of the Indianapolis Colts front office, but it would be highly unlikely to happen.
In 1983 the Baltimore Colts had the first overall pick. There was another great quarterback from Stanford at that time, John Elway. The Baltimore Colts were coming off an 0-8-1 season.
After a remarkable college career, in which he set nearly every Stanford and Pacific...

Mike Mayock loves Andrew Luck but doesn't consider him a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity:
NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock is a big Andrew Luck fan. Luck is the top player on Mayock’s board, and Luck’s passion for the game reminds Mayock of Peyton Manning and Matt Ryan.
