SAN JOSE, Calif. -- I can’t help but think of Dan Morgan as the Carolina Panthers prepare for Sunday’s game at Seattle.
Morgan was Luke Kuechly before the Panthers had Kuechly.
Morgan, like Kuechly, was a tackling machine at middle linebacker from 2001-2005. His 18 tackles in Super Bowl XXXVIIII – and the Panthers upped that to 25 after film review -- was one of the greatest defensive performances in team history.
Morgan, like Kuechly, woke up and went to bed thinking about football. Morgan, like Kuechly, spent tireless hours studying film to make sure no stone was left uncovered.
