NFL Combine 2012 Results: How Did Andrew Luck Test in Indianapolis?

As expected, Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck had a strong combine and remains the No. 1 overall prospect for the 2012 NFL Draft.

That said, here's a look at how the former two-time Heisman Trophy runner-up performed.

40-Yard Dash: 4.67 seconds

The man is 6'4", 235 pounds and ran a sub-4.7-second 40-yard dash. This was nothing short of impressive, and Andrew Luck simply continues to do work every time he's under the spotlight.

This kind of speed and acceleration will prove even more dangerous in the pros, not only because of his size but his throwing ability as well. Any time Luck drops back and buys time if no one is open, more than one defender will be needed to slow him down.

Vertical Jump: 36 inches

If anything, Luck's vertical displays his ability to quickly explode and burst at a moment's notice. In other words, the strength residing in his hips bodes well when breaking out of would-be sacks and tackles to keep plays alive and scramble for first downs.

And if whoever drafts him wants to get tricky, putting Luck out wide or running a reverse pass to him downfield isn't a bad idea considering his leaping ability.

Broad Jump: 10'4"

Pretty much the same in terms of proving Luck's lower-body strength, the broad jump also displays his ability to dive for extra yards. When scrambling, Luck has the power and quick explosiveness to fight between the guards for first downs and touchdowns.

Also, perhaps more than anything, Luck's broad jump shows how much power he gets out of each step when dropping back from under center. Being able to push off both feet while remaining balanced and in total control, Luck will be hard to take down in the pocket.

Three-Cone Drill: 6.8 seconds

Here's where Luck was arguably the most impressive.

With his size and strength we knew he had great footwork, but finishing third in the three-cone drill among quarterbacks says a lot about his natural mobility. It's being able to move swiftly while quickly changing directions and not losing speed, but also maintaining body control.

When in the pocket, dodging pass rushers by stepping up or rolling out can be simulated here. Not to mention the ability to remain balanced and knowing where your feet are without having to look down.

20-Yard Shuttle: 4.28 seconds

Not the most important drill for quarterbacks unless they are considered scramble-first prospects, but nonetheless reveals the ability to change directions on a dime while accelerating quickly.

Luck put up the fifth-best time in the 20-yard shuttle, which displays more of his athleticism and agility. Here, Luck will benefit from this drill because when dropping back from under center, he can step up in the pocket a lot quicker to avoid the rush.

In turn, that also gives Luck more zip on the ball and from a strategic perspective, keeps a defense honest and on its heels.
