But Sanders, too, faced plenty of criticism and hurt feelings from fans who thought he should have stuck around.“It was tough,” Sanders told the today. “But I understood because I had been an avid fan before myself, so I could appreciate certainly where they were coming from: the fact it was a surprise and just that I was — I wouldn’t say in my prime — but I definitely had years left. I can appreciate both sides.”Sanders, whose son Barry Sanders Jr. got to know Luck on a recruiting visit to Stanford Andrew Luck Jersey White , said he was impressed with Luck’s handling of the situation.“It’s a personal decision,” Sanders said. “It’s extremely difficult [for Luck]. You could tell, just listening to his press conference. He’s a bright, sharp, young man. He’s got many great options I would assume, but it’s tough for everyone involved.

Rebilas-USA TODAY SportsIndianapolis Colts’ quarterback Andrew Luck will miss the second-straight week of OTAs, as he continues to nurse a strained calf injury sustained during a workout earlier this offseason.“Calf strains or those kinds of things, you just want to let those things go or they’ll nag you for a while Womens Darius Leonard Jersey ,” head coach Frank Reich told reporters on Wednesday. “So we’re just being precautionary there.”Luck will be re-evaluated early next week, with sights set on taking part in the final two weeks of the Colts’ offseason program. All that remains is the final week of OTAs from June 3-6 and the veteran minicamp from June 11-13.To put the injury into prospective, Reich said the injury is something Luck “could go out and play” with if he was hurt during the season.“If you let it heal, it’s fine,” Reich continued. “But if you start rushing it back and if you start feeling it, it’s just better to honor it.
