I think he will win it

If not who else? Chandler Jones has miss his last two games and is still hurt, Kuechly has better stats than David and Wagner, Bruce Irvin has 7 sacks but only 11 Tackles, Casey Hayward has 5 ints but corners rarely wins this award(Charles Woodson was the last one in 1998)

If he keep playing like this until the end of the season do you guys think he is a lock for DROY?

It would be nice to have back to back Rookie of the year!

Casey Hayward will win it. He's been one of the best corners this year metric wise and he has the the fancy INTs they love too.

Kuechly hasn't got a shot if Jones/Irvin both hit 10 sacks but he'll get some votes.

Does he deserve it? Probably.

Will he win? Most likely not.

Hard to be droy when your team loses so much and overall is underperforming.

Even if he doesn't this dude is still an amazing player. And he's only 21 years old. Imagine him at 24-25 weighing close to 250 lbs...beast

[rayzor]

easily.

it usually ends up going to the first LB taken anyway, but he's really earned it. he's one of the best MLBs in the league right now.

To win it he needed to have a killer showing on Monday night to get national attention.

[Brooklyn Bully]

If he can get a couple sacks or one more INT it's his. If he leads the league in tackles it's his. Otherwise, probably not. Having a lot of tackles is great and all, but not enough to win the award.

[Daddy Uncle]

yeah he'll win it

2006-2007 Demeco Ryans won DROY with a 6-10 Houston Texans

The fact that he is in consideration for the award is enough for me. I thought he was going to be good. Nice to see that he is everything we hoped for. Nice parting gift from Hurney. He picked alot more winners in the first round than busts. Not every ex-GM can say that.

Close to 250? He weighed in at 242 at the NFL Combine.

Those are just ridiculous numbers for a LB prospect.

[PhillyB]

if he leads the NFL in tackles (or is even in the top five) he'll win it, as he should. another interception or sack or two would just sweeten the deal.

Let's go 250+ then

I'm sure he's lost a lb or 2 over the course of the season. I had a trainer tell me once football players can burn over 3000 calories in a single practice....weight loss right there

[RelaxImaPro]

Keuchly is 4th in tackles right now with 105 and is only 7 tackles away from being tied for #1... so considering him not even starting at MLB to begin the season it's not unrealistic to think he could possibly lead the league by the time the season ends.

Go Keek.

Me too.

We have our anchors on both offense and defense in Cam and Keek. Build off of those two and we'll be alright.
