Luke Kuechly wasn’t one of the best in the game, he was THE BEST Linebacker in football for almost his entire 8-year career. The Carolina Panthers and the entire NFL will miss one of the best defensive players of this generation.
Much respect to one of the great LBs to play football. You’ve given so much to this game and were a special player to watch. The game is losing a great one. Nothing but respect ✊🏾 https://t.co/Ja76illgi5
