DALLAS (AP) — L-u-u-u-u-u-ke, and this time it's unanimous.
Luke Kuechly was voted the NFL's top inside linebacker by The Associated Press for the second straight year Friday, with all 10 members of the panel picking the Carolina star first.
The top three remained unchanged from a year ago, with Seattle's Bobby Wagner second followed by C.J. Mosley of Baltimore. Kuechly got seven of 11 first-place votes in 2017, and Wagner picked up the other four. No such split this time.
"Hands down the top linebacker in the game," wrote Barry Wilner, the AP's lead NFL writer based in New York.
