Indianapolis Colts locker room, June 2012. At this juncture Andrew Luck is still The New Kid in Town, the top overall draft pick without a single NFL snap on his résumé. He's the prodigy who must replace a prodigy.
It's a frenetic afternoon inside the team's West 56th Street facility – Luck's first minicamp with his new team has wrapped up minutes before and most of his teammates are scattering towards summer vacation. But the new quarterback isn't in a hurry. He makes a point to walk over to the locker of the pass-catcher who will soon become his top target.
