I agree with this. I will say this about Luck though. He's maintained that low profile by not only the market he plays in, but the decisions he made early on. He made a point not to do a bunch of endorsements and commercials until a later time.

Andrew Luck explains why he does fewer ads than RG3 - NFL.com

"I really didn't have much time," he said. "And I wanted to make sure I had time to handle the stuff that mattered, whether it was moving into an apartment, finishing school or learning the playbook. There was so much going on, I figured the less time I spent promoting myself or doing ads, the better for me. I figured I'd wait and hopefully, at some point, a big fish will come along.'

"And really, to each his own. I don't necessarily think my way is the right way. It's what's best for each person. It's fun to see Robert capitalizing on his situation."

The rookie wage scale lowered Luck's first contract, but it's not like the guy is starving.

"I'm living fine right now," he said. "I'll focus now on football, and maybe after the season is over, we'll pursue some other opportunities, maybe something in the Silicon Valley. But for now, the time isn't right."

It would behoove RGIII to follow Luck's lead on this.
