Brad Johnson is enjoying each moment of life away from the NFL

Fox Sports announcer Joe Buck says the deal between the Indianapolis Colts and Andrew Luck "makes a lot of sense."

After quarterbacking three different teams to the playoffs in his rather unlikely 17-year NFL career—including a memorable Super Bowl blowout win with the 2002 Buccaneers—Brad Johnson was fairly astonished to discover that there was more to life than football when he finally retired at the age of 40 after the 2008 season.

A lowly ninth-round pick out of Florida State by Minnesota in 1992, Johnson scaled the heights in a league that stacks the odds against the draft afterthought.
