The first overall draft pick in 2012, Andrew Luck started his rookie season as one of the most eagerly awaited quarterbacks in recent memory. Luck didn't disappoint - by the time December rolled around he surpassed any expectations placed upon him and established himself as that year's most exciting new player. Luck wore this white Colts jersey during the December 16, 2012 game in Houston. The Colts star was 13 of 27 passing for 186 yards and 2 touchdowns in front of his hometown crowd. The next Sunday he broke the record for most passing yards by a rookie and went on to lead the Colts into the playoffs. The white road jersey features Luck's "12" on the front in royal blue tackle twill. His gold, blue and white Captains patch is sewn on the right shoulder and the special 50th Anniversary of the Pro Football Hall of Fame patch is sewn on the left. Nike size "46" label is sewn inside the collar and "2012" year tagging is affixed to it. Each sleeve has been professionally shortened with elastic added and features Luck's number "12", Nike logo and two Colts stripes in blue tackle twill. Back has "LUCK" in blue tackle twill on a site nameplate and his number "12" in the same color and material.
Overall the jersey shows good game use with some loose threads and some puckering to the tackle twill. A few scuffs and contact marks can be seen throughout. Luck has signed the "1" on the front of the jersey in silver ink and added the notation "12/16/12 vs Texans" on the "2". Letter of Authenticity from Panini Authentic.
