Luke Kuechly adds Netflix deal to Panthers Radio Network duties

“And in the middle of the first quarter, I said to myself, I cannot believe I wasted all that time because it’s radio,” Delhomme laughed. “I couldn’t believe it.

“So when Luke was doing it a few years later, I said, Luke, let me tell you, give you a piece of advice. I told him exactly what I did, and he was like, ‘OK, OK, good to know, good to know.'”

So in 2022, Kuechly’s debut came in Cleveland, when Baker Mayfield was the Panthers’ starting quarterback.

“I said, ‘hey, you took some notes?'” Delhomme said.

“Yeah, I think so,” Kuechly replied.

“And I had an index card in my back pocket, and I had 3 points of the game that I wrote down,” Delhomme said. “And I showed it to him, and he goes, ‘That’s your notes?’

“I said, ‘Let me see yours?’ And he pulled out a manila folder; he had a typed paragraph on every player on the Browns football team. He had scouted every single one of them. And I said, ‘I knew that, you didn’t listen.’

“He goes, ‘Well, I just wanted to make sure.'”
