Sounds like a great kid! Kuechly is paying off big time with our LB recruiting.
A couple highlights:
NM: A lot of scouts felt you needed to bulk up in order to play linebacker in college. How much weight, if any, have you gained since leaving high school?
ET: A very decent amount. I can’t give you exact numbers, but it’s a good amount. Whoever has me at 218 [pounds] or around the 220s, that’s just false. They definitely know how to put weight on guys here.
NM: Where do you see yourself fitting in with the team at this point?
ET: As of right now, hopefully second or third string MIKE [middle linebacker] for this season, and hopefully some special teams time. I’m obviously not expecting to be starting anytime soon, but if I can make special teams and travel with BC, I’d be very happy with that.
Would have thought he'd be at OLB for sure given his speed, but a rangy MIKE certainly has it's benefits too.
