Social media explodes at surprising ‘Captain Andrew Luck’ appearance

O Captain! My Captain! Andrew Luck made a rare appearance dressed as Capt. Andrew Luck on Thursday night.

Former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has been enjoying life away from the NFL, but he made a surprise appearance on the postgame show following Thursday night’s game on Amazon Prime.

While a public sighting of Luck may be considered as rare as catching a glimpse of Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster, there was another layer to the surprise in his choice of wardrobe.

Luck appeared on the postgame show dressed in a Civil War uniform, paying homage to the “Capt. Andrew Luck” Twitter account that was very active during his playing days.

A Stanford product, Luck may have joined the postgame show due to the game being a short drive away in Santa Clara. Fellow Stanford product Richard Sherman also is an analyst for the Thursday night games on Amazon Prime.

As expected, social media exploded in reaction to the surprise experience:
