WATCH: Colts QB Andrew Luck credits shoulder injury for his marriage

Andrew Luck believes that the shoulder injury which caused him to miss the 2017 season with the Colts is to thank for his marriage with his wife Nicole.

The Indianapolis quarterback told Sports Illustrated, “I’ll say it right now—I think it was a blessing in disguise. Absolutely. It forced me to reevaluate many, many things in my life. And the result has been … yeah, really positive. And I shudder to think of not having that. I don’t think I’m married if that had not happened. I think I eff that up. I truly do. I truly do.”

Luck and the former Stanford gymnast dated for years before finally getting married this March, the pair is expecting its first child. But that doesn’t happen, the quarterback believes, without the toughest injury of his career.
