By sheer chance we ended up staying at the same hotel as the team before the 2011 triple-OT win against USC. We came out of the garage elevator and Luck was the first person we saw. I knew who it was but my son didn't. We gave him a high five and wished him well in the game. My kid then says "Dad, that was one of the players wasn't it?" and I told him, "You just high-fived Andrew Luck." He was on his phone for the next 15 mins and he still talks about it to this day.
I think a lot of it has to do with the Stanford environment where you are surrounded by great people from all walks of life. It's humbling but at the same time it allows you to be yourself and to be appreciated for that. I love that Luck has continued to be that way and hasn't let his fame change who he is.
