It was just one spot, but Luke Kuechly has moved up on the NFL Network’s ‘Top 100 Players’ list. The Carolina Panthers’ linebacker landed at No. 14 when the latest group of rankings were revealed Wednesday night.Despite winning the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year award in 2013, Kuechly landed at No. 15 last summer. And while some will be disappointed he still can’t crack the top 10, the two-time Pro Bowler’s new ranking is the highest for a Panther since NFL Network began polling players in 2011.[vc_column_inner fade=”” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/1″]
