CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers middle linebacker Luke Kuechly gets all kinds of unusual requests as one might expect, but on Wednesday after practice he had perhaps the most unusual yet.
A gender reveal.
Britt and Samantha Johnson on a whim -- after learning they were expecting twin boys -- drove from Boone, North Carolina, where the father-to-be is the assistant baseball coach at Appalachian State, to hopefully catch Kuechly in Charlotte after practice.
Hopefully, because they didn't know for sure if the Panthers were practicing until they arrived.
They also didn't know if Kuechly would play along.
