The next great linebacker is already here....

[j2sgam]

When Ray Lewis and Brian Urlacher retired, football lost two longtime standard-bearers at linebacker. While it would be somewhat simplistic to label someone "the next Urlacher/Lewis," I thought this would be a good opportunity to take a close look at one of the bright young stars at the position, someone under the age of 25 who has a chance to become one of the best of his era: Luke Kuechly of theCarolina Panthers.

I havent seen the comments, but I hear 49er fans have lots of hate for Luke....

I think this might have been posted already. I could be wrong though.
