He's definitely lost a lot of muscle mass. Anyone holding out on that pipedream of him coming back can go ahead and sit that pipe down. Granted, there weren't many who were that delusional.

I don't think you understand the nature of a "genetic freak". Guys like him if they wanted to could easily add 30 pounds of muscle in a short time with a trainer, a dietician, planned meals, supplements etc. He isn't coming back but if he wanted to be could be jacked in 6 months. Guys like him are not cut from the same cloth as your typical beer drinking cheeseburger lunch break eating office working khaki pants wearing douche nozzle who spouts off crap about his supposed glorified high school football career.

If by "supplements" you mean "steroids" and "short time" you mean the better part of a year then I agree.

Per his own words, Luke retired for health reasons.

Kinda hard to imagine a guy who did that turning around and doing something like this.

Luke wasn't on roids. Genetic freaks don't need them. He he used roids he would have been even more swole than when he played. Just a freak plain and simple.  Maybe one on 10,000 are freaks like him or like Julius Peppers, Shannon Sharpe etc..Heck Mccaffrey is a complete freak of nature. Not normal but a perfect storm of a partially genetic freak father who got with a natural athete mother and that cyborg we born. Every idot who likes his chest out as he walks through some weak gym like planet fitness thinks they are genetic freaks but truth is they are just too rare. I've seen guys eat like garbage, nd barely workout that looked like greek gods. It's weird how science works but most of us will never know because we aren't that freakish .0001% of the population who are.

Not one thing wrong with cargo shorts by the way. The multi pockets are a great asset. Have you seen the puss boy shorts that are in style these days? Tight, short and usually some girly color like pink often bought at some "hip swanky" store at the mall. If cargo is out of style it sure beats those wimpy boy shorts they consider to be in style these days.

He isn't a genetic freak, he just worked hard at being great at his job. I know people personally that can get yoked and add a bunch of muscle mass like that in a year or less. You just have to be super disciplined and do everything that it takes. Now....none of those guys I know are capable of being an NFL LB. 

It wasn't Luke's ability to carry muscle mass that made him great.

Also, this isn't abnormal. If you look at a lot of the ex-players that were jacked up, a lot of them look smaller because they don't have to spend hours upon hours working out every week for their job. The "genetic freaks" you are talking about are the guys that still stay huge even after they aren't doing 2 a days or spending 20+ hours a week in the gym.

Two types of genetic freaks I would classify them at. One the freak that lifts a little and gets NFL middle linebacker huge. The other are the guys who dont touch a weight and look like a bodybuilder. Luke definitely wasnt the freak that Shannon Sharpe was but make no mistake that dude was a genetic freak in his brain could process football like no other, he was one damn big dude to stand up next to at his playing weight and he also could fly on the field. He was a freak but you are right not a Shannon Sharpe type genetic monster. I just wish we had him back in his youth playing again. I didnt realize how much a difference he made till he was gone.

No one is going to talk about that suit coat?   Is this a new thing for retires?  Looks nice.

If you watch the video of the ceremony, TD mentions that he had it made by his suit guy.  Wanted to wear the "uniform" 1 more time.

I recommend watching that video.  Worth the time.

Tepper should get with his suit guy and make it a regular thing for players retiring as a Panther

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Crixtala · Posted

      all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
