Football fans everywhere always expected to see Andrew Luck return to the football field, but not exactly like this.

Luck has traded in his helmet for a ball cap and his pad for a whistle. According to Alex Simon of Mercury News, Andrew Luck is now a coach at Palo Alto High School in California.

Andrew Luck retired four years ago, saying he needed to “remove himself from football.”

Now, Luck is back on the field — as a coach at Palo Alto High School, right across the street from his Stanford stomping grounds.

I strongly suggest fans to give Simon's story a read if they are able, as he shares the most significant life update we have seen on Luck's post-playing career since the night of his abrupt retirement from the NFL.

Now, back where he played college football in California, Luck is getting back into the game he loved before injuries robbed that from him. And I personally couldn't be happier for him.
