Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck's Advice to DePauw Audience: I Don't Have Any

For some odd reason, whenever someone becomes a celebrity people seem to think that person is now wise beyond his or her years and look to that person for pearls of wisdom and life advice. When speaking in front of a crowd of about 1400 at DePauw University Friday night Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andre Luck made sure people knew that was not what he was trying to do.

"As far as advice? I'm only 25," he said to the crowd, which quickly applauded. "I don't have any advice."

Most speakers would try to come up with something profound in an attempt to channel their best Dalai Lama. Not Andrew Luck. Instead he was honest with the group in attendance, but he has a point. Can you think of many or any 25-year olds you would take advice from?

There was a question and answer segment that gave fans a chance to ask Luck a question. Some of them were what you would expect while others--eh, not so much:

Parting ways with Reggie Wayne...

"It's not fun. There are guys you love. Professional sports is a business and people come and go. That's just it. Like Reggie Wayne this year, it stinks. It's the truth, but it happens. It's a business. Someday somebody is going to replace me."

Best defensive player in the NFL?

"Not on the Colts, right? J.J. Watt (defensive end for the Houston Texans)."

Funny stuff on the field...

"You'd be surprised at the interactions between (opposing) players in the NFL. There are some hilarious conversations out there sometimes. You'll be lined up and you hear conversations about their kids. 'How's your Aunt Margaret doing?' "
