INDIANAPOLIS — The 32 quarterbacks who start in the NFL each week are among the most well-known athletes in America. The most passionate fans will know their names and a bit about their backgrounds. The more casual fans will know less.
When the Indianapolis Colts travel to Los Angeles to face the Rams on Sept. 10 for the season opener, it’s reasonable to assume that Scott Tolzien will start in place of Andrew Luck, who’s still on the mend after offseason shoulder surgery. Luck is among one of the best-known players in the league. In contrast, Tolzien could be the most anonymous starting quarterback in Week 1.
