He learned from the example of Patrick Willis. He's made his money, accomplished a lot, but knew that to keep playing would cost him his health. I'd rather see him retire now than be a broken shell of a man in 15-20 years time.

[@coreygreen6511]

He and Patrick Willis will both be HOFers. Goes to show that you dont have to destroy your body to become immortalized.

[@TheSoundwave92]

@joseph drummond bro I am not ready for that. Wentz getting his contract with over 100+ million guaranteed basically indicates he knows he is an injury away from retirement and the guy is only 27 years old. :(

That's what a real fan of football... And humanity says.

[@raudelchavez2059]

That makes total sense, untill you figure out that he genuinely loved the game. He wanted to play 15+ years. Theres a huge difference between people/players who see it as an end to a mean, and players who love the game.

[@MongoLikeBeer]

I've been watching football essentially since I was capable, and that was, bar none, the most concerning concussion I ever saw. Usually you'll see a player disoriented, but frustrated, over a concussion. With that one, we saw the disorientation, but it was combined with genuine fear and confusion. That is a tough man, by any standard, so imagine what's going on in his brain to break down on national television. I'm a N.E. fan living in Charlotte, and to see even his own fans making fun of him, and calling him less than masculine names, was beyond disgusting.

[@Mandy_39]

@@MongoLikeBeer I'm not a Panthers fan but definitely a Luke fan! He is a super tough dude & as much as he still wants to play I'm glad he walked away with no further complications! Would've been horrible to see another Shazier injury or another concussion could do God knows what to his brain. Just curious, u still gonna be a Patriots fan when Bellachick & Brady are gone & they are this years equivalent of the Bengals or Redskins?!

@@Mandy_39 I'm also a Luke fan, he's one of the greatest linebackers we'll ever see. And of course I would, I'm not fair weather. Grew up in New England, was a fan before Brady, before Belichick. Obviously no plans of changing afterward.

[@robertcunningham1695]

@@bradkirchhoff3751 he's talking about the scene where luke was discussing his decision to retire, he starts to choke up talking about it. The concussion scene you are right although he might have been crying too as you are still "cognizant" when concussed, the messages are just delayed and don't always get across. I've been concussed and I compare it to an LSD trip plus a headache. You don't get the high or visuals that comes with LSD but it scrambles information in your brain in a similar way, and unlike LSD you can't rely on it to end within 10 hours or so, so it's much scarier. You constantly feel lost, and for a grown ass man that is a scary enough feeling to illicit tears.

@matthew baker Sterling Sharpe was my favorite player as a kid actually. For a school project in second grade I even wrote him a letter telling him he was my favorite. He played 7 years, put up huge numbers, and did get inducted. I was just looking at linebackers who've got in and in terms of NFL seasons Kuechly could get snubbed. Marshawn Lynch will likely run into same issue when it comes to getting inducted due to his overall stats, not years played. With Terrell Davis just getting in, Marshawn probably will eventually but each position group seems to have different HOF criteria. There's a lot of garbage politics that go into it as well.

Mark Barron went on to put up some pretty decent numbers... with the Rams.

[@JesusGarcia-uy2hj]

I want to say thank you for your videos. Helping me get through this lockdown.

[@ggitsova]

Flemlo is straight up such a g man! Absolutely love any content he puts out

[@MJW777]

My favotite was Luke and Td's friendship and their dominance

[@JELLYBELLY7733]

I’m #1 panthers fan and this man is the single best mlb ever, luv this guy he will be missed and not forgotten

[@colinponeris7180]

Luke went to my highschool everyone is hoping he comes back and coaches

[@jojoloccgaming57]

When I attended 2015 training camp and he out of many other panthers signed my football and I’ll never forget the moment when he gave it back and patted me on the head

[@johnnynewberry8582]

Loved this guy cause the way he played. He will do well in anything he try’s. I personally would like to see him get into coaching...damn he would be great at that too!!!!!

[@lestermurray5503]

I have watched many of your videos. But I just subscribed when I saw the love you gave to the players of the sport. Big ups to you bro

[@joemalcom7029]

Great video my friend. From your delivery, it sounds like you have a lot of respect for any athlete like Luke, that has class, plays hard rain or shine, doesnt complain about petty things, and gives back to the sport. I always loved Luke Kuechly. Fast and a real centerpiece of the defense. A very humble guy also. I believe he reminded of Brian Urlacher in many ways as far as size and speed, and ability to take over a game. Keep up the videos!!!!

[@Azner101]

Best memory of Kuechly, vs. Cowboys in 2015 when he intercepted Romo and stiff-armed him as he ran in for the Pick-6. Best LB in the business, humble and hardworking. Love and Respect.

[@mikekun155]

The hype was real with this young man. He was my favorite MLB second only to Patrick Willis. They were both monsters. Hope he lives a long and healthy life!

[@xanderunderwoods3363]

True class. Incredible human being. Miss ya Luke. Outstanding video bro.

[@theflanman420420]

He was a beast who seemed to know where the ball would be... I’m glad he left the game on his own accord. I can’t imagine how tough that decision was... great video as always flemlo.

[@WhoDaF0ok1sThatGuy]

Luke Kuechly will always be one of my all time favorite LineBackers even when he would be destroying players on my favorite team. Much respect to the man, hope he lives a great rest of his life! He’s gonna go down in the history books, that’s for sure!

Great video man! Thanks for shedding some light on one of the NFL's best!

[@Bart9349]

What an fantastic presentation of a great career ... that doesn't have a tragic ending. Thank you.

[@c-2985]

And just like that, another one of my childhood players I've known about has been taken from me. Although I'm not a Panthers fan, it sucks to see him go, but all respect for the man. He has truly accomplished a lot.

[@dillpickle7358]

Seeing him get upset genuinely made me upset, as a Saints fan i know Luke is a humble guy. He was an amazing opponent to go against, and he was always near the ball.

[@martinmemesmarketingandmedia]

Dope tribute. Thank you.

[@michaeldixon3129]

Those two consecutive picks on Romo where insane

[@rez_gs41]

The beginning of Luke’s story reminds me of how my nephew complains about his coach putting him as guard rather than mostly defensive end like he loves

[@ElGranSanto]

My favorite memory of Luke was watching him come out of the tunnel. Fans were so hype, but he came out super calm, with his head down. Dude looked like he was ready to wreak havoc Also, another great video from you. Well done.

[@briansim3031]

Great coverage as usual. Luke was a beast with a super charged motor. Always around the ball. Concussion aftermath I’m sure, was the deciding factor. Fun to watch 🤛🏼❤️🇺🇸

[@timcrane130]

Thank you for a great tribute to a linebacker legend. My favorite memory is when I watched him stalk, then pummel Johnny Manziel at the Cleveland at Carolina game. That may have been Manziel's last pro game. Thanks for the memories Luuuuuke.

[@Cpodish]

I'm glad you did this Flemlo! As a Panther fan and huge Panther fan it's a sad day BUT he deserves his retirement. The greatest of this Era

[@GBooneoh]
