? Former Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly thinks Diontae Johnson is going to be a star in Carolina’s offense.
“I think the Diontae Johnson thing is going to be a bigger deal than what we think. You know, obviously [Adam] Thielen is going to be able to control the slot, the middle of the field, but you need a guy on third down that can just go get open. They’re going to play man, you’re going to have inside help, they’re going to try to funnel you there. Who can just go straight up, win one-on-one man coverage, and that’s what he does really well,” Kuechly told Kay Adams of Up and Adams.
