Kuechly squashed any lingering doubts about his athleticism with his performance at the combine and pro day workouts, demonstrating rare pass coverage abilities which would allow him to be a “three-down” inside linebacker (i.e. not subbed-out on obvious passing downs) which raised his draft stock even further.

Kuechly was drafted by the Carolina Panthers in the first round: the first linebacker selected and the ninth overall pick. On May 10, 2012, Kuechly signed a 4-year, $12.58 million contract.
