According to ESPN’s Mike Triplett, Vacarro said of Luck:

“Not deceptive. Just because he’s white doesn’t mean he’s deceptive. He’s actually a great athlete. He has all the tools that you ask for as a quarterback. Smart, big arm talent, can go through all his reads and he can run. So not deceptive, he’s actually athletic.”

As for Vacarro’s notion that race factors into Luck’s description, well, he’s right.

Vice Sports recorded the buzzwords ESPN analysts used during the 2015 NFL draft, and the findings were stunning.

“Only black players were described as: gifted, aggressive, explosive, raw, and freak. Only white players were described as: intelligent, cerebral, fundamentally, overachiever, technician, workmanlike, desire, and brilliant.”

Players aren’t always so direct about adjectives for opponents, but it’s actually kind of refreshing to see the hard-hitting Vacarro attack a dumb stereotype
