SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Ben Boulware is pretty sure that Luke Kuechly regrets ever sharing his cell phone number. And maybe even is second-guessing sitting near the undrafted rookie linebacker during meetings.
Because Boulware realized before the start of Panthers training camp that his best opportunity to learn might be to pick the brain of the former NFL Defensive Player of the Year, Kuechly.
That means texts. Lots and lots of texts. And whispers and interruptions during meetings. Anything to gather information on how he can be good enough to earn a full-time job with the Carolina Panthers.
