With the ninth pick in the 2012 Draft the Carolina Panthers select Luke Kuechly Boston College. Bringing Kuechly to Carolina has paid off in the form of a Linebacker who plays like the Linebackers of a foregone era like Dick Butkus, Jack Lambert, and Mike Singletary to name a few. He plays wide open on every play from sideline to sideline.
His career has started off like gangbusters. Can he continue to play at the high level that he is playing at now? His play is the reason that the Carolina Panthers defense has been heating up. A natural leader that makes the players around him better.
