As the 2018 preseason officially kicks off tonight in Canton, Ohio with a game between the Baltimore Ravens and Chicago Bears, two legends at the linebacker position are expected to be on hand. Both Ray Lewis (BAL) and Brian Urlacher (CHI) are among the members of this year’s Hall of Fame induction class and each made an impression on the position and Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly.
Born in 1991, Kuechly was just five years old when Lewis entered the league and nine when Urlacher made his NFL debut. By then, Lewis had already been to three Pro Bowls and was named a first-team All-Pro the year prior.
