While the Dallas Cowboys were taking part in their third preseason game, the breaking news that Andrew Luck had retired from football began to make its rounds. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones shared his thoughts on his hopes that Luck can become the president of the United States.
Jones admires the competitor that Luck has been throughout his seven-year career and pointed to his commitment as a positive trait (via Jori Epstein in USA Today Sports):
“To play football and everything that’s involved in playing this game, you’ve got to have your mind and heart not only committed to completely buying into, completely doing it, but you’ve got to almost be over-committed to doing it because you get so many No's,” Jones said. “You get so many No's. Everybody does that plays this game. No's are everywhere.
The famous owner of America's Team believes his commitment can translate from the football field to the oval office. However, it's unlikely to believe that the Indianapolis Colts quarterback would take interest in politics at the moment.
Luck steps away from the NFL at the age of 29 but injuries have caused his career to come to a screeching halt. The lionhearted signal-caller put his all into the Colts organization since 2012.
Over his seven seasons in the NFL, Luck would tally 23,671 yards and 171 touchdowns. Aside from his command on the field, Luck was known to be a phenomenal leader off of it.
Jerry Jones believes Luck would be a great candidate as the president of the United States. Considering that Luck isn't even 35 years old yet, his campaign for his presidency will have to wait.
