Jim Irsay offers his private jet to Andrew Luck

Found May 07, 2012 on Pro Football Zone: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Jim Irsay,  Andrew Luck,  Reggie Wayne,  Austin Collie
TEAMS: Indianapolis Colts
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck looked good during this past weekend’s rookie minicamp, but now it’s back to school for the first overall pick. He still has two classes to finish up that will be officially completed on June 7th, which means he’ll be forced to miss 10 days of OTA’s with his teammates. “I have a job now. This is what I love to do,” Luck said. “If I could, I would devote 100 percent of my time right now to be the best football player I can be, the best quarterback for this team. “But I’m not going to let 31/2 years of school go to waste. I’m going to try to finish strong.” Colts owner Jim Irsay has offered Luck his private jet if he needs it to get around to private workouts with teammates Reggie Wayne and Austin Collie. “I’ll definitely use whatever means of transportation,” Luck said. ”especially if it’s Mr. Irsay’s stuff. Absolutely.”

Draft Grades: Indianapolis Colts

Colts Owner Jim Irsay Can't Use Plane To Help Andrew Luck Work Out

Via GridironFans.com  |  May 08, 2012
On Monday morning, we noted it was a little odd that Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay offered his private plane to help his top pick Andrew Luck fly around the country to work out with teammates while Luck finished up his degree at Stanford. (Luck can't work out with the team again until June 7.) It turns out it was a little more than awkward, it was against league rules. Mike...
