Anyone who says Luke is overrated clearly does not watch football. He is BY FAR the best middle linebacker in the NFL. he does everything well and is a play maker and a half. If you have any experience playing linebacker, you really appreciate how great this guy really is

I remember that Dallas game even today. The Panthers were undefeated, yet Dallas was favored to win. My siblings and I would randomly say “interception on this play” many times in the game, and so many times we were right. It was amazing.
Gonna miss watching you on the field bud. What a player

basically what the other guy said and i could call out a lot of other teams but we know the browns, they literally keep missing on players almost all the time in the 1st round, no hate on the browns tough, it must be really tough for the fans going through this the other funny part is the brows were smart enough to trade Trent Richardson away to the colts for a 1st round pick but they once again drafted another bust in manziel with that pick. still don't get why ryan grigson shipped away a 1st rounder for him, can't believe the dude still isn't fired

We love Luuuuuuke down here in charlotte. Go Panthers!!!#Keeppounding
Luuukkke my favorite linebacker the best ever. Enjoy retirement world class you are. True GOON ball hawk
I was watching a film analyst on him and loved what the analyst said, he said luke thinks like a qb so hes pretty much every qbs worst nightmare
One of the best linebackers to ever play the game. His mental game was second to none
Luke is an absolute unit
Best MLB in the game and its not even close... Perfect spot as well
Kuechly is the best linebacker in the NFL. Guy is just so smart and a great leader. Even as a Hawks fan and watching him burn Russ in the Divisional game, I couldn't be mad at this dude.
Still remember his 1st Tackle. Ist play the RB ran past 10+ yards and he was gone but Luke back and flipped his hips and stopped the play from being big, it was a O Wow moment how quick he stopped a broken defensive play.
There is no one that can read coverages like him, can tackle like him, get picks like him
Luke Kuechly is quite possibly the best linebacker ever. He is a genius.

So we really just gonna ignore the fact that the guy fell out the stands 😂
Easily one of the best LB’s of all time I hope he makes the HOF.
I love watching him play football!! and I love watching him too. 😍

I really admire this guy, it remind me a Trojan warrior, always on the game ahead of the opponent, great Job. I can see you as a football coach in years to come, I really enjoy seen your plays.
On defense, there's no one smarter, more intense on every play, makes his teammates better, and is freakin' everywhere........and a great guy to boot. The best defensive player in the league.

Luke is a field general. He plays the position on defense that's responsible for getting the defense where they're supposed to be and to identify plays. He's not just the best defensive player at the interior LB position, he't the best defensive field general in the game.
At the beginning, wasn't that the play where they stuck the dagger in the Cardinals and twisted it? Or am I thinking of a different one.
