CHARLOTTE – When Christian McCaffrey arrived in Charlotte for his introductory press conference, Luke Kuechly was ready and waiting to welcome the eighth overall draft pick to the team.
Kuechly, along with center Ryan Kalil and safety Kurt Coleman, spent a couple hours getting to know the former Stanford running back and preparing him for life as a Panther.
“He’s a good dude,” Kuechly said of his first impression. “I think they consciously try to bring in guys who fit the locker room. He’s a good dude, and I think he’s a guy who is going to work really hard.
