Could former Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly one day become a general manager?

The list of former players to become executives within an NFL organization is a relatively short one. But there have been a few recent success stories. And could former Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly be next?

Former Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway became the general manager/president of football operations for the organization in 2011. And he constructed a roster that got them a Super Bowl victory in 2016. In his first season as GM, he drafted All-Pro pass rusher Von Miller and he led the charge in signing future Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning back in 2012.
