INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Quarterback Andrew Luck says he's ready to
start in the NFL next season.

Luck was in Indianapolis on Thursday to work out at the Gatorade
Sports Science Institute. It won't be his last trip to Indy.

He'll return in three weeks for the NFL combine and perhaps for
good after April's draft. Colts owner Jim Irsay has said he will
use the No. 1 overall pick on a quarterback, especially with Peyton
Manning's health still unresolved.

Manning's surgically-repaired neck sidelined him for the 2011
season, but he says he's making progress and has been throwing
passes recently. Also, Irsay must pay a $28 million roster bonus by
March 8 or risk losing Manning to free agency.

Luck says he could co-exist with Manning, but he wants to play
right away.
