Former linebacker Luke Kuechly is coming back to the Carolina Panthers organization to be part of this year's radio broadcast for seven games, joining play-by-play announcer Anish Shroff and either Jordan Gross or Jake Delhomme, along with sideline reporter Kristen Balboni. Kuechly will be in the booth for six home games and the road trip to his hometown of Cincinnati. Jim Szoke will continue to act as the third man in the booth for the games Kuechly doesn't do.

"I just love the Panthers, I love being around it," said Kuechly. "I love the people. I think I want to be attached to the team, and the game, and the organization somehow. I think it could be a lot of fun. I think that's the biggest reason, to do something around the game on game day that's fun. You still get the atmosphere, and all the good memories I have here in Carolina."

A first-round pick by the Panthers in 2012, Kuechly played eight seasons in Carolina, earning seven Pro Bowls and five All-Pro nods. He retired following the 2019 season.
