The 2019 NFL Scouting Combine is now in the books. Any team would be more than lucky to get a defender in this year’s draft that even approaches the level of Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly. Athletic testing is always important, but Kuechly’s intelligence is an asset that’s hard to quantify.
Just listen to Kuechly talk about his own experience at the combine back in 2012. Kuechly vividly recalls what happened when he ran the 40-yard dash. Watch.
In the end, Kuechly ran a 4.58 forty. He also posted 27 bench press reps, a 38-inch vertical, a 123-inch broad jump and a 6.92 second three-cone drill.
