Pro Football Focus has begun releasing their ratings from the 2017 season and, newsflash, they still think Luke Kuechly is a really swell linebacker. They graded him as the number three overall linebacker in the NFL.
This continues a long tradition of PFF singing Kuechly’s praises. He was their top inside linebacker in 2014 and their best coverage defender in 2015. It should come as a surprise to nobody that if Kuechly is healthy enough to be on the field then he is going to be one of the best players out there.
