Luke Kuechly reaction drills


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Remember when everyone tried to question his athleticism coming into the NFL?  Funny how a lack of pigmentation always comes with questions of athleticism.  Then Luke goes to the Combine and just blew all the other LBs out of the water in virtually every drill.

Agreed. He's extremely athletic. Even if he wasn't the great football mind he is, he'd still probably be a top 10 MLB just riding on athleticism alone. Top talent across the board.

Luke has been a savage athlete for a long time. Here's a cool article from 2008 when he was a junior in high school (felt old yet today?).

 

While a stadium full of young stars participated in SPARQ Testing, one star shined far brighter then the others… that star was Junior LB Luke Kuechly who posted an off the charts SPARQ Rating of 106.14. Kuechly, a member of the 2007 state championship team, finished in the top 3 in each of the 4 SPARQ events. When asked what benefits SPARQ Testing will bring the Bombers, the Junior LB feels “the testing will help us set goals because you really don’t know what goals to set until you come out here and test.” The power ball toss proved to be Kuechly’s strongest event as he placed himself among the elite athletes in the country with a toss of 43 feet. Rounding out a performance that ranks Kuechly in the 99.9th percentile in the country was a 4.78 second 40 time, 4.35 second shuttle and a 32.9 inch vert. Kuechly, who has gained interest from high profile colleges such as Stanford, Boston College, Michigan State and Northwestern plans to “work on a lot of speed drills to improve my 40 time.”

    • Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack
    • Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.
    • Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
