Luke Kuechly Praises NC State LB Payton Wilson

The Carolina Panthers will undergo a massive renovation on the offensive side of the football this offseason, but they won't turn a blind eye to the defense. If the Panthers' front office cares much for what legendary linebacker Luke Kuechly has to say, they may consider taking a linebacker on day two of this year's draft.

"At the draft... I always look at linebackers and there's a guy that I've loved watching for a long time up at NC State, Payton Wilson," Kuechly said in a guest appearance on Up and Adams Wednesday morning. "He ran extremely well, he was in the 4.4s and he's been super productive and he plays really hard. He's taller than me and he's faster than me. He's got great hair, he's jacked. I like Payton Wilson. I've liked him a lot. He's right up the street in Raleigh, I like him."
