Retired Kuechly considers job as Panthers scout
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Retired Carolina Panthers middle linebacker Luke Kuechly is considering a front-office job as a pro scout, the team said Wednesday.
Kuechly, 29, surprisingly retired in January, saying he wasn’t sure if he could play as “fast, physical and strong” as he did during his eight NFL seasons that included seven Pro Bowl selections and the league’s Defensive Player of the Year Award in 2013.
He didn’t explain why he wouldn’t be able to play at the level to which he was accustomed, but Kuechly missed seven games from 2013 to ’17 because of concussions.
