NFL Preseason 2012: Power Ranking the NFL's Top 50 Rookies After Week 2

18. Luke Kuechly, LB, Carolina Panthers
Preseason Stats: 7 Tackles, 1 Pass Defended, 1 Forced Fumble

Luke Kuechly was thought to be one of the most polished prospects in the 2012 NFL draft, and his performance through two preseason games hasn't changed that opinion.

Kuechly has shown a knack for being around the football and has made plays all over the field. His sideline-to-sideline ability and football instincts are clear every time he steps onto the field.

If Kuechly isn't atop your list of favorites to walk away with the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award, its time you re-think your list.

I don't agree with their rankings, b/c he is behind some questionable ranks, but fun to see how people see him on the natioanl stage.

[Chaos]

Still plenty of time for him to climb the ladder.

[MasterAwesome]

How is he behind a running back who has barely averaged over 3 yards a carry..

And Silatolu should definitely be on this list!! COME ON MAN!

[DawgzLife]

Yeah, I was wondering where Silatulo was...you are right MA.

The list is heavy QB & DE near the top here.

I hate the slideshow webpages, so here's who they list ahead of Kuechly (for those of you who don't want to click thru):

17. Janoris Jenkins
16. Doug Martin
15. Kendall Reyes
14. Andre Branch
13. Alshon Jeffery
12. Chandler Jones
11. Lavonte David
10. Jemmell Fleming

it's bleacher report so.....umm...yeah.

[ShutDwn]

Preseason rankings? Really? So many players are getting minutes that they won't possibly get later on. Oh, and then there is that "level of competition" thing.

Luke's gonna do his thing, I have zero worries. Amini sounds like he'll be a stud as a rook as well.

[TopCat]

Wow. Keuchly not getting the love. I guess what he does just kind of goes unnoticed.

[Daddy Uncle]

yeah the list is retarded. But it is Bleacher report so it's just one person's opinion. Pretty much as retarded as ESPN or any national writers

Yeah, I don't put a lot of faith in BR, BUT...then again, like you said...ESPN, etc., etc. can be just as ill informed.

It's a Panthers related article that can generate some discussion amongst us tho. I'd rather read that some some of the nonsensical treads started recently tho.

[Dash Global]

Flemming must be playing well. I wanted him in the draft.

I got alot of faith in our rookie CB though.
