INDIANAPOLIS -- He signed the NFL's largest contract ever, but he still uses a flip phone.

Andrew Luck confirmed to USA Today's Tom Peliserro Sunday that he does still indeed use the out-dated form of communication despite his 6-year, $140 million contract extension this offseason.

Luck is known for his use of the "comforting" flip phone, going all the way back to the day he was drafted.

The Indianapolis Colts QB has always been a private person, and he has said the flip phone helps facilitate that, preventing him from being connected 24/7 with the likes of a smartphone.

It texts and it calls, and that's all Luck says he needs. He told Peliserro he has an iPad, though, for what that's worth. 

As for any other purchases, Luck told Peliserro he hasn't changed his spending habits and hasn't made any big purchases.

 

Safe to say Luck hasn't caught the Pokemon Go craze, since it can't be played through his current cellular device.
