1. Quarterback Andrew Luck: Machamp

While Andrew Luck has yet to become “a-champ” in his own right, he has all of the potential makings of one. Machamp is a superpower Pokémon, and Luck is a superstar quarterback by his own accord.

Blessed with considerable size, strength, and speed, Luck is the complete package when it comes to the modern NFL quarterback prototype. It’s similar to Machamp, who’s muscular, quick, and has four arms, which allows him to do a little of everything–packing powerful punches in the process.

This even allegedly includes “moving a mountain” with just one arm, something that Luck knows all about with his own golden throwing arm–just a year removed from carrying the Colts to the AFC Championship game, even if he couldn’t quite scale it.

From an athletic standpoint, they’re a spitting image of one another, and it certainly helps that Machamp’s blue after all. Da ba dee da ba daa.
