Luke Kuechly, LB

On defense, it begins with linebacker Luke Kuechly.

  • Recap/Expectation: Once again, LUUUKKKEEE has had a year of dominance and consistency. It’s truly incredible how much of a talent he is and the expectation is more of the same.
  • Prediction: 160 TKL / 2.5 SK / 3 INT
  • Kuechly will play in all 16 games for the first time since the 2014 season. He’ll also top off his healthy campaign by winning a second Defensive Player of the Year or at the very least, have a good chance of winning.
