3. Andrew Luck, QB, Indianapolis Colts

The Indianapolis Colts have been one of the most pass-happy offenses in the entire NFL, and Andrew Luck has been reaping the benefits of that. He has improved in his leadership skills, and could still use some work on his decision making. That being said, the Colts are currently sitting at 9-4 on the season and are considered one of the legitimate Super Bowl contenders in the AFC.

Luck has thrown for 4,305 yards, 36 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions on the season. He is without a doubt a candidate to move up and press for the MVP award if he can come through with a couple of huge performances the rest of the season. Indianapolis isn’t going to change their gameplan of putting the football in his hands, so it is a definite possibility.

That being said, the interceptions are something that are holding him back at this point in time. He has definitely forced his name into the elite quarterbacks group, and the Colts have one of the most talented young quarterbacks to play the game in quite some time. Luck has already been drawing comparisons to Peyton Manning, and some believe that he has the tools to be even better than Manning.
