NFL: Luck on target at Colts workout

Vince Young is suing his former agent, saying he stole money.

After a 51/2-week absence from Indianapolis' offseason workouts, the NFL's No. 1 overall draft pick showed up in a red No. 12 jersey on Tuesday and started showing everyone what he'd learned in his final classes at Stanford.

"I'm just trying to soak everything in, and I'm starting to have a good understanding of what's going on here," Andrew Luck said after a one-hour workout.

League rules prohibit rookies from attending team mini-camps until they finish classes, with the exception of one three-day rookie camp, which ended May 6. So dozens of reporters, photographers, and television cameras monitored each pass Luck threw.

They saw a nearly flawless performance.

Luck connected on his first 12 throws in the morning team drill and only one of 16 passes hit the ground - a ball that hit rookie tight end Dwayne Allen in the chest and was dropped.

Coach Chuck Pagano noted that Luck didn't make a single mental mistake.

"The guy's off the charts for football IQ," Pagano said. "He came in over the weekend and we had a little session Monday with the rookies, which league rules allow, and he hasn't missed a beat."

Young sues

Former Eagles QB Vince Young accused his former agent and ex-financial adviser of cheating him out of at least $5.5 million the former first-round draft pick was supposed to have earned in his rookie contract and through endorsement deals.

In a lawsuit filed by the Buffalo Bills' new quarterback in Houston on Monday, Young alleges that Major Adams II and Ronnie T. Peoples breached their contracts by conspiring to commit fraud and misappropriate the player's funds.

Adams is a Houston attorney who served as Young's first agent in negotiating the five-year, $54 million contract for the third pick in the 2006 draft.

Peoples was Young's financial adviser.

The two are also alleged to have forged Young's signature, falsified documents, and impersonated Young to secure loans in part to help pay off Adams' personal debts.

Adams denied any wrong-doing.

"I have never had access to Vince Young's financial money, any money he has," Adams said Tuesday. "I've never had any access to his financial accounts. I've never been authorized on any accounts to write checks or anything like that. All I did for Vince Young was negotiate his contracts."
