Contrary to the widely-held assumption, however, Liles does not believe that he has been suffering from a concussion. In fact, the 31-year-old believes that the symptoms hes been experiencing for the past 15 games are more closely related to the trouble hes been having with his neck, specifically a "locked" feeling which has quietly subsided of late.INDIANAPOLIS -- Andrew Luck is focused on his new job and will let others contend with the business of football. Two days after picking up his architectural design degree from Stanford, the No. 1 overall draft pick returned to Indianapolis to work on football and make his first big steps into the community at a Play 60 camp downtown. The only impediment standing between Luck and reporting to training camp is signing a contract. Hes not concerned about it. "To me, I worry about getting better at football," Luck said after the event. "My agent, Ill let him take care of that." Luck is scrambling to catch up. Hes trying to get familiar with the city, get his timing down with teammates and still cramming to learn the full playbook, something he admits is an ongoing process. "Hardly. Im trying every day," Luck said when asked whether he knew the playbook yet. The Stanford graduate is hardly alone. Indys top three draft picks -- Luck, second-rounder Coby Fleener and third-rounder Dwayne Allen -- are all unsigned. The Colts other seven draft picks are under contract. Team owner Jim Irsay did not expect the negotiations to take this long, thanks in part due to the new rookie wage scale which was supposed to make it easier to complete deals. Irsay told reporters in late April he expected negotiations to proceed quickly and that Lucks deal would be almost identical to the four-year, $22 million contract last years top pick, Cam Newton, signed. Newton became the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. A little more than two weeks ago, Irsay also wrote on Twitter that the two sides were getting closer to a contract. Just not there yet. Lucks agent, Will Wilsoon, has remained relatively quiet about negotiations and told The Associated Press in an email Tuesday he had "nothing to add. Wholesale Youth Jerseys China. ." But getting a deal done before training camp is essential to Lucks development, especially after the predicament the Colts faced this spring. After attending a three-day mini-camp in early May, Luck returned to Stanford to continue his classwork until June 7. NFL rules require rookies to complete their classwork before attending anything other than the rookie mini-camp, so Luck didnt get to work out with the Colts veterans until last week. League rules also require rookies to be under contract before they report to training camp. The Colts arrive at Anderson University about 30 miles northeast of Indy on July 28. Practice begins the next day, and if Luck doesnt have a deal in place, he cant practice. But Luck said hes not worried about missing the start of training camp. So Luck and about two dozen other rookies are in town this week and next to work out at the team complex, and to get accustomed to some community relations. An estimated 90 children attended Tuesdays camp just south of Lucas Oil Stadium. "The quarterback drill with Andrew Luck had to be the best," Allen said with a smile. "But then Im biased because I participated in it." But for the rebuilding Colts and the man who will replace Peyton Manning, Tuesday is only a start. "I think its really nice to be a part of the first team foray into the community and help kids have some fun for a couple of hours," Luck said. "Coach (Chuck) Pagano really preaches getting into the community and this is a good way to get started." ' ' '
