Former Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly has been reflecting on his bombshell retirement decision one season removed from taking a back seat.
There is no disputing the fact Luke Kuechly is one of the game’s greatest-ever linebackers. His cerebral approach and elite instincts made the biggest of impressions for the Carolina Panthers almost from the moment he stepped onto the field and this continued throughout a glittering eight-year career before the perennial All-Pro eventually decided to call it a day.
This was an absolute bombshell and one the Panthers are still recovering from.
