| confirmed Tuesday that the team will select Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck with the first pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. Since officially releasing Peyton Manning in March, it had been widely speculated that Luck would be the Colts' choice.

Locklear, 30, played his first seven seasons with the Seattle Seahawks before spending last year with the Washington Redskins. He has appeared in 105 games (82 starts). |
