Luke Kuechly Talks Instincts, Early Retirement Trend and What Really Happens at the Bottom of the Pile

The linebacker is just so good at anticipating plays. We also discussed the cerebral aspect of football, his best play ever and his relationship with teammate Thomas Davis. When I asked him about a time he wasn't able to anticipate what was coming, a time when an opponent surprised him, he told an entertaining story about Andrew Luck.

And later in the show, a conversation with Rams head coach Jeff Fisher.
