Andrew Luck flip phone

What would you do if you just became the highest paid person at your job ever? Chances are cars, a new house, and a bunch of extravagant expenditures would dot your ledger.

However, for the newly minted highest-paid player in NFL history, it was none of the things you are likely thinking about. That’s because Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck isn’t like most of the rest of the league, eschewing extravagance for comfort nine times out of ten.

His latest proof? Try being extremely happy over his most recent purchase of a flip phone from AT&T.

No, seriously. He went to the way-back machine and got a flip phone upgrade (that still exists) from the cell phone carrier and had to let it be known.

Curiously, the picture to let us all know how happy he is with his flip phone came from his Facebook page — bringing up the question of just how dedicated he is to his flip phone over the smartphone that is ever popular today.

According to Fox Sports, some digging suggests Luck’s big purchase cost him a whopping $60. It also came with a big time 2-megapixel camera and a 2.8-inch wide screen. So, next time you make fun of your mom, dad, or grandparents for their flip phones remember that they’re about to come back in style.

Because if Andrew Luck is doing it, all the kids will be following suit soon.

Credit to Luck for marching to the beat of his own drum and doing what is the most comfortable thing for him. We’re guessing that isn’t the only phone he owns or has an assistant on standby with a smartphone, because that picture is way better than a 2-megapixel camera can take.
