A unicorn was spotted at Colts minicamp on Tuesday as Andrew Luck, yes, the Andrew Luck that has been MIA since the 2016 season, was spotted throwing footballs for the first time in forever (October) at minicamp. There were reports in May that stated Luck would begin throwing around June 14, but we were all a little skeptical considering how badly the Colts botched handling his shoulder injury. But sure enough, here he is throwing some short passes:

Zak Keefer of the Indianapolis Star tweets Luck through 20-25 passes around 10-20 yards deep:
Andrew Luck exits practice. I’d say about 20-25 throws. As deep as 20 yards. He looked at ease.
Exactly what the Colts (not to mention their fans) wanted to see before minicamp breaks.

Because every little detail matters when it comes to the Colts’ franchise QB, the footballs being thrown were college regulation. The difference between the two balls is minuscule — Colts fans should just be happy their guy is actually throwing again:
