I am loving listening to Luke Kuechly on NFL Live. Called Marshawn Lynch the toughest
Player to tackle that he played against. Those were some great battles back in the day.— Chris McClain (@macwfnz) May 9, 2022
Really liking Luke Kuechly on #ESPN today. He brings a fresh perspective on defensive schemes and in-game adjustments, all the more noteworthy given that he retired just two seasons ago.

On @SportsCenter this morning, 5-Time All-Pro #NFL LB Luke Kuechly was asked who will win the AFC West next season.
He said the #Chiefs.
He feels the other AFC West teams have talent but still need to acclimate. Meanwhile, KC still has Reid, Mahomes, & Kelce. #ChiefsKingdom— Devon Clements (@DevclemNFL) May 9, 2022
Kuechly, 31, was a 2021 St. Xavier Athletic Hall of Fame inductee.
In 2021, Kuechly resigned from his job as a pro scout for the Panthers. When he accepted the position in June 2020, his role was expected to involve watching film, player evaluation and advance scouting.
The Panthers appear to have removed from circulation Kuechly's No. 59, which he wore throughout his eight seasons as a player for the team before announcing his retirement in Jan. 2020.
