NFL News: Indianapolis Colts Looking To Sign Jonathan Martin, Andrew Luck Approves

The Indianapolis Colts are reportedly interested to sign defensive tackle Jonathan Martin, and his former Stanford Cardinal teammate and current Colts signal-caller Andrew Luck approved this move by his current team.

"Colts quarterback Andrew Luck believes it's a good fit, too. On Wednesday, Luck told Pro Football Talk on NBCSN that he supports the idea of the bringing his former Stanford teammate to Indy," NBC Sports stated.

There has no internal conversation between Colts and Martin so far, but the young quarterback said he would welcome the move by the Colts to sign or trade for his former teammate, who allegedly experience bullying by Ritchie Incognito during his tenure with the Miami Dolphins.

"I'd say I love Jon, we had a great time at Stanford together, still stay in touch with him regularly and I think he's a great man," Luck said regarding the input he'd provide, if/when (when) he's asked about Martin," Luck told NBC Sports.

Another reason for Martin to possibly sign with the Colts is the presence of offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton and tight end Coby Fleener, whom he worked with during his time in Stanford.

"The Stanford connection to Martin goes beyond Andrew Luck. Offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton and tight end Coby Fleener also were at Stanford when Martin, a second-round pick in 2012, was there," NBC reported.
