KUECHLY WINS BUTKUS AWARD: Panthers middle linebacker Luke Kuechly recently became a two-time winner of the Butkus Award, which honors the top linebacker in high school, college and the NFL.

 

Kuechly, a two-time Pro Bowler and the 2013 Defensive Player of the Year, became the fourth player to win the award at two levels.

 

Kuechly, the Butkus winner in 2011 following his junior season at Boston College, joins Von Miller, Patrick Willis and Manti Te'o (high school and college) as players who have won it on two tiers. DeMarcus Ware has won the NFL award twice.

 

Kuechly led the NFL in tackles for the second time in three seasons with 153 stops in 2014. He added a career-high 12 pass breakups, with one interception.

 

Guessing it'll go in the same box as the others.

Not bad for someone that was ranked as the 44th best outside linebacker in the country and 37th best player in Ohio coming out of high school.

That 57" box that he can jump on top of? That box is filling up with his awards. Nice post and great job by him...as always.

Good practice for jumping on top of piles and padding those stats, am I right?
