Luke Kuechly on Coaching, Leadership and the Panthers’ Defensive Identity

Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks are joined by seven-time Pro Bowler and former NFL Defensive Player of the Year Luke Kuechly to talk about his transition from playing in the NFL to coaching youth football. Luke shares his thoughts on the Panthers’ strong season and how head coach Dave Canales has helped the team embrace its identity. He explains why a lack of attention to detail and urgency frustrates him more than anything else on the field. Luke also reflects on his mastery of the Panthers’ defense during his career, while admitting he couldn’t have called plays at the same time. Plus, Luke shares what makes his former coordinator Sean McDermott so effective in shaping the Bills’ defensive style.
