Words can’t describe who Luke Kuechly is as a person, friend, and teammate. We have shared countless memories together both on the field and away from it. I feel honored to be his friend and I’ll always appreciate the impact he has had on my life. Love you buddy pic.twitter.com/0DHYkOwDp1

After playing with @PatrickWillis52 I didn’t think it was possible for me to touch the field with another LB of his caliber. Then I went to Carolina. Enjoy retirement @LukeKuechly!

Luke doesn’t even have social media he is that different. I have to see him soon in person and pay my respect always fun to play against. Meetings were always a little longer, and gameplans a little more complex. He kept you honest.

Reached out to Thomas Davis to talk about Luke. He told me, “He was the best teammate that I’ve ever had on any level. Easily the nicest guy off the field you’ll ever meet and the most fiercest competitor you’ll ever meet! The game is truly going to miss Luke!” #KeepPounding

Luke Kuechly’s transparency in this statement was unheralded, this wasn’t a prewritten speech.
— Emmanuel Acho (@thEMANacho) January 15, 2020
He waited til the organization & LB room were in good hands FIRST, before even considering his own health. Fans, I hope you appreciate what you have in some athletes, & in Luke. https://t.co/7OsTcxQqux
