Colts keep Andrew Luck through 2016

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Andrew Luck will be with the Indianapolis Colts through the 2016 season, the team announced Thursday afternoon.

The Colts chose to take advantage of the fifth-year option they had on Luck’s rookie contract.

Luck has soared as quarterback of the Colts, recording the most passing yards in an NFL quarterback’s first three seasons since 1970. He’s also a three-time Pro Bowler.

With Luck at quarterback, the Colts went to the AFC Championship for the first time since 2009.
