Former Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly is returning to the organization to be a part of the team’s radio broadcasts this season. The team announced the move on Monday morning. Kuechly will team up with Anish Shroff, Jordan Gross and former Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme for seven games.
His former quarterback and teammate has high expectations for how Kuechly will perform in the booth: “You just know (Kuechly’s) going to be good at it,” Delhomme said. “I look forward to it because he’s so smart.”
Kuechly was drafted by Carolina in the first round of the 2012 NFL draft, and was an immediate impact player for the Panthers. During his time in the league, Kuechly earned numerous awards, including the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2013, and five First-Team All-Pro selections.
