kuechly the greatest panther ever, future hall of fame without doubt

[@creamy3387]

Whose his competition jonathon stewart? Peppers who left early? Like the Panthers dont have any good players in their history besides cam peppers and now christian

[@dawizz98]

luis siordia So Steve Smith is nobody lol ? Cam Newton is on a decline but still the only reason we watched a panthers game 😂 I lowkey agree but I don't at the same time I'm like one foot in one foot out with this comment I respect it tho

@@dawizz98 thank u

[@mperformance3502]

Kuechly, Peppers, Smith are my top 3

[@jr.3308]

Everyone talks about his high IQ (and rightfully so) but this dude played relentless, ruthless and with so much heart. Lucky I got to witness the likes of him and Willis. Enjoy retirement Luke!

[@undergroundwes4021]

Luke was a great football player but an even better person. Thanks for 8 years Luke. Keep pounding!!

[@LogoLamont]

I hate to see young players retire too early but I definitely understand it.

[@rockandrolf8611]

Same here I thought Luke would have played a couple more years. 😓😢😔😕

[@fultzey]

Yeah, a tough decision now, but he won’t regret in when his friends are suffering brain damage.

[@rockandrolf8611]

@@fultzey true 😔😔

[@jalenism]

cam, steve smith, luke kuechly, and julius peppers might be the coolest mt rushmore for any nfl team and i’m not even a panthers fan

[@DRob_22]

Thank you.

[@joelsalazar702]

Mills and Davis should be there

[@erikpuka2627]

Olsen too.Dont disrespect the OG

[@sydlikgamingandcomedy22]

Luke Kuechly is the best Panther, he had so much more football to play, sad to see him leave

[@Anonymous-lm2ou]

SydlikGamingandComedy 2 the game is too dangerous, players are starting to notice it too. Expect a lot more players to retire early

[@sydlikgamingandcomedy22]

Anonymous- I’m expecting that as well. But it’s so tough to see them go so early.

[@mperformance3502]

Him and Peppers are argueably the best to ever do it at their positions.

[@sydlikgamingandcomedy22]

M Performance- 💯

[@p4t21ck]

No one talks about Chris Borland and how his decision to retire after only a season in the NFL may have influenced a generation of players to value their health over the size of their wallet

[@michaelroberts5191]

QBs and RBs let out a sigh of relief everywhere

[@tmoney360]

It's such a shame he retired early but he did it for the right reason. You could tell this was a player who still wants to play but understands his love of the game may cost him big going forward. No doubt HOFer. Just recently for it's 100 year anniversary the NFL brought together coached, players, analyst, etc to create it's list of the top 100 players ever. In creating it's top 100 for each position they created a list of 20 players in each position and choose their top 10. Even though he didn't make the top 10 Luke, at 28, was selected in their top 20 linebackers of all time. I think we are going to see a shift in how HOFers are selected moving forward towards more Gale Sayers-esque selections. By that I mean players who may not have 15-20 year careers but we're so individually dominant during the time they played.

[@sports3117]

It’s a shame that he retired so soon. Both Kuechly and Andrew Luck will each be missed from the game of football

[@wrightterence680]

Kuechly is a bona fide Hall of Famer!! I'm going to miss watching him play in the NFL

[@allanj917]

Trust me..... luke a younger dude then me.....was a legit kool kid.....met him 1nce & said "this kid a beast & rose garden at the same time.....amazing person in general

[@fabianhernandez2609]

Kuechly and peppers were the best my favorite defense players hands down

[@trugrinder04]

What's sad is those concussions may have already hurt him but much respect to Luke for putting hisself and loved ones first in this decision

[@LucidFlameX]

Tackling machine. I don't know if that was his actual nickname, but man he lived up to it. What a monster.

[@jonnydcash9765]

Sam Mills was a great lb & panther. Only player with a statue outside their stadium .

[@itoromiggins4113]

They’re talking about him like he’s dead 😂

[@clindricwright355]

Onl🤣🤣🤣

[@forevergooner4400]

That's how it feels when a 28 year old as talented as him retires.

[@kingrollo8199]

He keep playing, his mind will be dead

[@Yeeeeaaaanoooo]

Google ”athletes die twice”. You play at that level for this long you get spoken of this way

[@MikeDaProblem]

Lawrence Miggins their just giving him his flowers while he can still smell em

[@Firesword4]

Hope we see him as a nfl analyst

[@johnathonklinedinst5889]

With his ridiculous IQ, he could be better than 99 percent of today's analysts.

[@Idcreallybud]

Greatest linebacker ever

[@alanmtz8054]

Kuechly couldve gone down as one of the best linebackers ever, but he chose to prioritize his health over that, you gotta respect and applaud that

[@lukaz3336]

He still is one of the best linebackers ever.

[@WilliamsWrestlin]

Wonder if the Aaron Hernandez documentation had ANY influence on this

[@mohitoBhau5499]

Interesting point. The league has covered up concussion related deaths so blatantly.

[@genobourn7423]

Mr. Luke! You go Man! When you feel that it is time that is what you do! Very smart! Some of these people who are "hung up" on money exposes who they are. Money is their God- SHAME! I know that you have other worlds to conquer. May God be with you and your family- PEACE!

[@lukaz3336]

Or maybe they just wanna play longer? 🤨

[@genobourn7423]

@@lukaz3336 I agree. But there are some that are bashing him. I donot think that is good!

[@lukaz3336]

@@genobourn7423 Anyone that is bashing him is really stupid. As a Panthers fan it definitely hurts that hes retiring but at the end of the day he has a personal life....

[@luthermoore2969]

Maybe the best inside LB thus side of Ray Lewis. You can argue he's better if you compare individual stats leaving out superbowl and championships

[@abrahamjackson6019]

Luke was that Dude, but we are talking (Ray Lewis) c'mon man. You can make an argument on Patrick Willis and Bobby Wagner being the best of there generation..

One year and a few million Anyone smart can make that last for life. health over money

[@rayj.9568]

@Trey Thomas, Do you really believe that there will be no dislikes. Without a doubt, for some strange, unknown reasons, some will not approve of this video.

[@coryddp7254]

Don't let his mother see this video because she probably would think he passed away. The average professional life of a football player isn't that long

[@randyrantana256]

CTE IS REAL BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY

[@robertrios1732]

I don't get why boxers & football players play over 8 years... Its too much on your body, sorry but to go from 0 income to 1-5 million. Why not realize its great to play sports is a fast man sport. This is why the nba players don't earn their pay. Its no more sweat blood & tears like all the other sports. Even baseball is more difficult
