In one of the more bizarre yet charming moments of this young NFL season, an internet meme came to life… literally. On Thursday Night Football, the Amazon Prime crew brought on the former Stanford Cardinal and Indianapolis Colts quarterback, Andrew Luck, onto the set. Only this time, Luck was wearing some “old school” threads.
Luck appeared dressed in a Union soldier’s uniform, looking like he came straight from the Civil War.

Of course, this is an incredible reference to a rather popular NFL parody Twitter account, @CaptAndrewLuck, which famously pokes fun at the fact Luck’s appearance does look like a Civil War soldier. The account tweets as if it were Luck writing home from the front lines.
Luck may be done with the NFL, but he is not too far from football, as he is coaching with Palo Alto High School.
