Luke Kuechly

That UCF clip doesn't look very good. Luke is always chasing the play or letting the play come to him. Seems slow in diagnosing most plays or maybe he just doesn't have the speed to get there. There were 2 plays where the ball carrier ran right by him. But maybe it was just a bad game for him.

That's just his style.

He has the sideline to sideline speed, but he's far from some kind of elite prospect. He's a guy that teams will attack in the NFL. As soon as a lineman gets his hands on Kuechly he gets turned around and he's done. If we're looking to replace Belcher, this isn't the guy to do it with.

But he's the best coverage ILB in this class. I'll give him that. Not that that says anything cause the ILB's as a group are fairly weak this year.
