Luke Kuechly guest teaches CMS students

Kuechly took a pop quiz, held a Q&A and instructed students on at-home fitness

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Former Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly is still deciding what he wants his next career move to be after retiring from the NFL earlier this year. 

On Monday, Kuechly had the opportunity to try something new, and serve as a guest teacher for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools.

"Excited to be here. I think it'll be a good switch up from what we've been dealing with the last few weeks," Kuechly said.

Class included a pop quiz, but it wasn't just for the students Luke was put on the spot too.

"I was getting nervous there for a second," Kuechly said.

The pop quiz was followed by a Q&A with students and Kuechly. Then it was time for Luke to present his lesson, which was on staying active during the COVID-19 shutdown.

"The first one is just a standard push-up, for your core it's just standard plank and then the last one is just a standard bodyweight squat," Kuechly explained. "I'm already breathing hard, and I barely did anything. Just got to find something that works for you," Kuechly said.

Before signing off Kuechly gave one final message to the class.

"There's a lot going on, and obviously we wish we could be doing more right now, but this is a unique opportunity where you can just really spend time with your family and be around the people you enjoy," Kuechly said.
