Not many eyebrows were raised when linebacker Luke Kuechly was named to the NFL’s All-Decade Team for the 2010s. He is widely regarded as one of the most ferocious players to ever play the position and produced a level of consistency rarely seen before.
He was thoroughly deserving of his selection to the 55-man roster thanks to his sterling effort during his eight seasons with the Carolina Panthers. Kuechly’s legacy will live long in the memory for those fortunate enough to have seen the player bounce around from sideline-to-sideline on a once-formidable defense.
While Kuechly may have made the right decision to call it a day to avoid health complications in later life.
