Kuechly to play different position than college

Found June 10, 2012 on The Penalty Flag: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Luke Kuechly,  Jon Beason
TEAMS: Carolina Panthers
Ron Rivera has a plan for the Carolina Panthers defense and that plan is to move Luke Kuechly from the position he played during his college career. Kuechly was only 13 tackles short of the NCAA record for a career with 532 and led the nation with 191 tackles during the 2011 season. His team, Boston College, finished a horrid 4-8 but he did break the single season tackles-per-game record with 15.9 (previously held by Rick Sherrod with a 15.6 average over a 10-game season). He was also the recipient the 2011 Butkus Award, Lombardi Award and Bronko Nagurski Trophy. The move is due to Jon Beason's return who is trying to make it back from surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon.

Impact Rookies: Luke Kuechly

Kuechly may not be the flashiest rookie, but he’ll start from day one and immediately improve a struggling Panthers defense. While Kueckly primarily played inside at Boston College, the Panthers are shifting him to the weak-side positionâ€...

Despite playing just 29 games in four NFL seasons, Carolina Panthers offensive tackle Jeff Otah is more beat up than a driver's ed car. Fortunately, Otah – at least for the time being – should be ready to go for the 2012 season. After developing swelling around his left knee at OTAs, the 6-foot-6, 330 pounder's MRI came back OK, according to head coach Ron Rivera...
