Luke Kuechly can fake it as an actor, but his role in NFL's top defense is real

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The commercial opens with Carolina Panthers Pro Bowl linebacker Luke Kuechly, in full uniform, holding a pair of babies at 3 a.m. while the father eats a bowl of Campbell's Chunky Maxx Soup.

Enter the mother.

"Go back to sleep," Kuechly says. "I got this."

OK, the babies aren't real.

So the father isn't really the father.

And the mother isn't really the mother.

It's not 3 a.m., either.

But Kuechly looks like he was really into his role as an actor, something he couldn't say in 2012 when he filmed commercials after entering the NFL as the ninth pick of the draft.
