It turns out, Luke Kuechly reacts the same way you or I would if we saw Julius Peppers walk into the room.
"Man, that's Julius Peppers," Kuechly recalled thinking as a rookie when he saw the legendary defensive end in person for the first time.
After five years in the NFL and a shelf full of awards won, it's nice to know the Carolina Panthers linebacker still gets starstruck.
