One of the most HYPED QB Classes ever... 10 years later 

You completely missed the part about Ryan Grigson and the Colts management failing to get him a decent offensive line and barely helping him during his surgery and rehab. That wasn’t a result of a reckless play style, the franchise let him down.

Ryan Grigson killed Luck’s career arc, Colts were gifted the perfect Manning successor and squandered him so badly

I remember reading a draft report on Andrew Luck prior to being drafted which detailed his strengths and weaknesses. It literally said in his weakness section that he has no weaknesses. That's how big of a prospect he was at the time.

I'll never forgive the colts for what their front office did to Andrew Luck.

The top two QBs in this class will forever be one of the biggest “what if” stories in sports. Two guys with the potential for Hall of Fame careers and some absolutely awesome NFL games. All to be destroyed by injuries and lackluster organizations behind them.

What happened to Andrew luck is a cautionary tale for every tanking franchise. You have to be ready to flip the switch and build a winner

Kirk Cousins stats are actually incredible compared to the rest of this class. He played 32 less games than Russ and only has 4,000 less yards. More td's and less interception than Tannehill with a higher completion percentage as well.

I’m old enough to remember when Bleacher Report gave the Seahawks drafting Russ a grade letter F. Little did people know he would end up being the best QB in the class.

Something you failed to mention in the RGIII section. It wasn't the organization or coaching staff that wanted RGIII to become a pocket passer. It was RGIII and his dad that wanted that. They went to the owner to force the coaching staff to do that. Because the coach Mike Shanahan refused to do it.

Andrew Luck is the greatest "WHAT Could've Been." The Colts destroyed his career. He was wreckless to a point but he didn't derail his career. Lack of support is what knocked him down. He looked completely depressed announcing his retirement & even the fans turned on him booing him out of the stadium. Had he had the support he should've had, the Colts would be having their own dynasty rn.

I had so much faith in RGIII. So sad to see him fall apart after injuries.

Fun fact: Demetrius Harris, the TE who caught the TD pass from Dontari Poe at the end of the video, was also the first player Patrick Mahomes completed a pass to in the NFL.

Andrew luck could come back rn and be a top 15 qb day one if he wanted to. I’m glad he understands his health is more important than a damn game.

Luck's "reckless play style" was not to blame, but the complete lack of an offensive line is what caused him to get injured so much and retire early

He was my favorite player ever. He retired on my 18th birthday the year the colts were favored to win the super bowl. Andrew was a joy to watch play, a shame they never gave him weapons or an o line till his last year.

Brandon Weeden is a Texans legend, as he led us to our first win in Lucas Oil Stadium It took over a decade, but Weeden did it

You need to do a video on the 2013 QB class. That’d be a fun one. One of the worst QB classes in recent memory

all time QB class, even considering the unfulfilled potential

Andrew Luck also helped to create one of the greatest handles in Twitter history. He made his mother proud.

If the colts actually gave Luck protection he would still be in the league. Could you imagine just how good the colts would be right now with that current offensive line?

Wilson's goal line pick in the super bowl was also pretty memorable.

4:38 gotta disagree with you KTO. General Manager Ryan Grigson never addressed the offensive line, so Luck would constantly take hard hits. I feel this was the biggest reason to his injuries

I feel like the most memorable throw from this draft class was “intercepted at the goal line”

I remember my older cousin played against Andrew luck when he was a junior or senior in HS. That man was nice even back then. It was so much talent in Houston back in the mid to late 2000s.

I'd argue the most memorable pass by a player from this draft class was a pass by Russell Wilson from a certain 1 yard line...

10:35 personally I will NEVER forget about Brandon Weedon. I’m a saints fan living in Alaska and I’ve only ever been to 1 regular season game. I’ve been to a handful of pre season games. Anyways in 2015, the saints played the Cowboys in Sunday night football. This was one of those down years for the saints, ending the season 7-9. Romo was hurt for the cowboys so Weedon was starting. And he legit ALMOST BEAT US. Game went to OT and first play Brees threw the ball to CJ Spiller for an 80 yard TD to win the game. Regardless of the win, I will always be thankful Weedon was starting that night, cuz if Romo was playing , it probably would of been 20-45 saints lose.

If Luck didn't get the shit kicked out of him, I think he would have won at least 1 super bowl. It just sucks that he was with the Colts who thought they could cheap out on an O-LIne to protect him because he was more mobile than Manning ever could be.

It's hilarious to see how much less insanely cluttered and over the top the ESPN set was in 2012.

Poe throwing a TD is awesome I love when the big boys like DT and OL get some love

As a Seahawks fan I thought the most talked about pass was going to be Russel throwing it on the goal line to lose the super bowl. The one QB from this class that is often forgot about with a unique story is Case Keenum. The guy put up ridiculous numbers at Houston, went undrafted, but has had some good moments in the NFL. I know he's a backup now, but he's definitely had success.

Wish you talked about Brock Osweiler's story of leaving the broncos after Payton left to join the Texans for the pay raise. Would have loved to hear it again

i love these video going back on drafts and seeing them now especially since i dont keep up with football let alone drafts thanks 👍

Besides the magical runs Foles has with Phily in 17'-18' AND 18'-19' he also had a great 2013 season as a starter for the eagles. He is very incosistent but he might be the best backup QB of all time.

RGIII had vaugus knee, where your knees cave inward. in his broad jump during the combine, his knees caved in when he landed. his knee problem is what caused his knee injury

You just earned a subscriber keep up with this great content & would love for you to cover more quarterbacks from the 80's up to now!

Great job! I remember how hyped up Luck was. All you would hear is how good of a Qb he was. This class was somethin else and shaped the NFL for the next decade if you think about it.

Selecting Brandon Weeden was such a Cleveland Brown’s thing to do.🤣

As a Colts fan, one of my biggest “what if” questions is just how good the Colts would be if Andrew Luck was on this current Colts team. Ryan Grigson left him out there to get killed with his piss poor management. 😩

I love watching these videos because these are the QBs that were on the rise when I was becoming a real football fan and it's very interesting seeing their careers in a detailed hindsight. I also love reading the title of the video and predicting what play you'll put as the beat drop and I did not guess Dontari Poe lol... great video

I love your videos. I always can’t for for the outro gets me so hype everytime

I love when KTO uploads, makes my day!

Love the channel keep up the great work

Your videos are always flames!! Keep up the good work!

i really appreciate people like you and flemlo for doing such good research i mean you probably remember this stuff happening somewhat but not everything most things you need to do some real research which i really thank you for.

I would argue that the most memorable pass from this class was Malcolm Butler’s pick in SBXLIX

I'll still say Luck will be the greatest "could've been" story in the NFL. He was an elite talent and his only knock was that he took too many risks with his body. Barring those terrible injuries he had a HOF trajectory career

great to see you on trending been here since 100k

this new year keeps getting better, thanks KTO!

Luck hanged up the cleats too soon. He was the guy, the next generational QB. Dude could've won multiple MvPs and perhaps SBs. But, just not with the Colts lol. If only he wasn't so banged up.

Can't believe it's already been 10 years. I feel old

The outro is always my fave part, keep it up!

I have to appreciate you making a video like this, if for no other reason than you KNOW full well you can't make it without talking about another dark moment in the history of your favorite team. I also never thought about the Robert Griffin III tragedy like that before. I always thought that management completely screwed him after his injury, but I guess there's another side of the story. That definitely explains why he never had a resurgence after he left Washington, much as I wanted him to. (....Well, that and he kept getting extra injuries on top of his old one... So I'd still say it's mostly tragic and not what he deserved.)

Thanks to the Colts lack of an O Line, Luck’s insides were turned to jelly

Nick Foles was so good that I was bummed that he got Benched for Sam Bradford. Once he made his Return it was Legendary. His Statue of when he Said to Coach Peterson "You want to do the Philly Philly?" is Displayed at the Stadium. God Bless the Saint Nick!

One of my favorite videos by far!

That Dontari Poe play always makes me smile. Great way to start my morning

Kirk Cousins is such an overhated player it’s sad to see. Literally no one is calling him elite, but everyone constantly drags his name through the mud for no reason.

The most memorable pass from the 2012 draft class is definitely Russell Wilson’s super bowl interception but alright

Great video bro 🔥

Great stuff. Thanks

I really don't think calling Luck's playstyle reckless was the core reason the man no longer plays. I blame the lack of a line, decisions of coaching staff and overall management. The Colts ruined him. When you get a QB like that, you protect him at all cost. And the Colts never did that.

The most memorable pass made by someone in this draft class was made by an undrafted player, not by Dontari Poe. Case Keenum to Steffon Diggs in the playoffs, Keenum went undrafted out of Houston after graduating with the NCAA record for career passing yards.

Greatest football channel out there. Great work

Videos are pure excellence bro

As a colts fan I 100% blame the team’s inability to protect Luck and draft an o-line. We let him down, not so much his play style

Due to injuries, one of THE potentially greatest QBs we have seen in a generation didn't live up to what he was sadly. Man, what he could've done if not for those injuries.

Love ur vids man, keep it up 🗿

Alternate title: How Dontari Poe could've revolutionized the wildcat offense... but honestly great vid as always man!

As a Colts fan this is why I hate Ryan Grigson so much. He ruined Luck’s career. Only if we had Ballard then

I’d say Wilson interception in the super bowl was pretty memorable

Loved the Easter egg at the end! 👌

love the vids man

Most memorable pass from this class is Wilson intercepted by Malcolm Butler at the goal line

It’s crazy how good some drafts are even when there are weak QBs/other positions

despite not having great numbers and also retiring I think Osweiler had a really good time for himself.Got a massive contract and got a superbowl ring by covering for manning in the playoffs then ran to the bank at 30. Well done!

Nice work bro keep it up

If you’re taken to replace Peyton Manning and live up to the hype you’re definitely worth it. Such a shame Andrew Lucks career was ruined by injuries.

Say what you want about Cousins. But he proved people wrong in this class and there’s no doubt from what he’s accomplished as a 4th rounder is a huge success

Fantastic video. Subbed.

It’s always a great day when KTO drops a video

After Andrew luck laid out that USC defender on the fumble recovery, I had a feeling he’d be special. It’s so sad to see how badly he was banged up. He could’ve been special. He could’ve made it to canton.

It's always nice when KTO uploads

Great video!

Correction: Ryan Tannehill was not a receiver when he went to A&M. He was a QB who was beat out by Jerrod Johnson. Tannehill wanted to play, so they had him play wide receiver and due to his athleticism, he shined at WR, but he still attended the QB room meetings and was still listed as a backup QB. When Jerrod Johnson got injured, Tannehill got his chance and was spectacular. He played midway through his junior year and all of his senior year. Sorry, but I think it's important to correct the record. Tannehill was handicapped the first part of his career at Miami with an incompetent owner, head coaching carousel, and porous O-LIne.

Andrew Luck one of my favorite QBs ever. I miss him, hope he’s doing good

Imagine if this colts team still had Andrew luck

Tannehill's career revival is pretty neat. He landed in the best possible situation for himself and has maximized it. Even with this season being a little rough, they're still vying for the top AFC playoff spot. Tennessee got a solid QB for a song when they traded for him. The last portion of Wilson's rookie season seems rarely discussed. We knew in the Seattle region that he was turning into something special. I think it was the Chicago game where he led a 90 yard drive in the 4th quarter to tie the game, then another 90 yard drive in OT to win it. That was the "Oh wow" moment where his will to win was truly evident. Then they destroyed Arizona, Buffalo and San Francisco late in the season, beat RGIII in the playoffs and had one of the greatest 4th quarter comebacks against the Falcons the following week. It's a shame they couldn't stop Tony Gonzales of course. But Seattle fans went into 2013 knowing Wilson and that team was going to be special. The feeling that off season was unique and well, turned out to be correct.

I love the chuckle when you said "The Browns would go on to draft Johnny Manziel"

I miss Andrew Luck 😭😭😭😭

Imagine what Andrew Luck could have done with the personnel that Russel got

Great job

Love your content

The RPO with RG3 and Alferd Morris was literally unstoppable. It was a cheat code. Real ones know RG3 was Lamar before Lamar.

As a die hard colts fan I miss luck 😭 he was that dude and grigson/pagano failed him miserably

It’s crazy how every single draft class is the most hyped class ever

Great content

never clicked on a vid so fast!

Both luck and griffin were screwed by their franchises. Luck got hit way too much and griffin still took a snap when he was clearly hurt then tore his acl; he was never the same.

always a good day when KTO uploads

I’m still singing the Andrew Luck blues in Indy. He still lives around here though so it’s nice the fans that booed him didn’t run him off completely.
