Luke Kuechly, LB, Carolina Last year Defensive Rookie of the Year won be a surprise, but he has a chance to be a Pro Bowl middle linebacker. Kuechly led the league in tackles last year for the Panthers and also added a sack, two interceptions and three fumble recoveries. With Carolina drafting a big defensive tackle in Star Lotulelei to play in front of him, Kuechly should only be more effective..It's not just the players though the coaches turn a blind eye and a deaf ear not only to this but some obvious cases of performance enhancing drugs. They push and push these guys because winning is everything, and the higher up you go the worse it gets. Thankfully my son has decided he's through with it.

Pete Carroll's first game as Seattle's head coach was a resounding success, as the Seahawks blew out the 49ers. San Francisco's biggest question going into this season was Alex Smith, and his performance in this game was lackluster. The 49ers are going to have to play much better
