Luke Kuechly: I’m Done Playing Football

Earlier this month, news of Luke Kuechly’s decision to step away from his position with the Panthers as a pro scout broke. With it came speculation that the former All-Pro may me mulling a return to the field. Thursday, Kuechly shut down any hopes of a comeback – telling media at the Charlotte TD Club that he’s done playing football and is looking forward to spending more time doing other things he loves.

For any doubters out there, Kuechly confirms he is done playing football. Loved his time with the Panthers organization as a pro scout, but isn’t set on what’s next. He discussed how there was a lot to learn about working in the front office. https://t.co/C6sohj9449
