 Live moods here at live with Luke Keekley Luke. How are you? We're here radio row Vegas Super Bowl. How does it feel? It is great. I was kind of talking to some other people about it. It's like a reunion you get to see you get to see all your buddies I saw Cam. I saw Roman Harper. I saw peanut Tillman all guys that I played with I saw Brian earlacker walking around. He's a guy that I grew up watching play So it's kind of cool. You don't know who you're gonna run in and see and it's cool to see all those guys that I played with Yeah, speaking of Cam. We know that Cam is kind of getting involved in the media side of things and he's got his little setup over there Which has been really cool to see. Let's talk about Cam as a QB one. Yeah, MVP season for you 15 and one Panthers you guys are both captains. What was that relationship with him like man? He was so fun to be around his energy his his personality How much he loved the game of football when you're having a bad day like man I got to go out to practice Just look at Cam him smiling him having fun him dancing around He was fantastic to be around and when I went and saw him up up today It was he is so big and he's so strong and gave me a hug on my cam buddy You got to you got to relax because I'm gonna break something but he's uh, he's awesome And I love playing with him. You think he's staying big because he hopes to play again I just think he's just he's a big strong dude. I don't think he's a guy that's ever gonna be small Right. Yeah. No probably not So I'll give you a little bit of background. I'm a Denver Broncos fan. Okay, so we have to talk about Super Bowl okay Mostly from your perspective. Yeah, what was Super Bowl 50 like? I think there was a lot of I don't want to say controversy But a lot of Panthers fans that you know, obviously felt some type of way There's a team that wins. There's a team that loses. What was that Super Bowl like for you? I think you grow up You grew up as a little kid and you love the game of football and you want to have the opportunity to play Super Bowl and win a Super Bowl, right? So I think you look back on it Obviously, it was a bummer that we lost but you take a take a step back to get more perspective and you realize how special that year was How special it was to have two playoff games at Bank of America Stadium in front of our fans How much fun we had during the regular season? How how fun it was to be part of a Super Bowl media day going out there a week or a week early for the game Yeah, it was so fun. So yeah, you want to win the game. That's the reason you go out there That's the reason you play the game in the NFL is to win the Super Bowl but obviously that didn't quite happen but The memories and the events and all the stuff that happened leading up to that game was truly special you can't lose out of that Absolutely, you got to hold on to the good Christian McCaffrey. I want to talk about him for a second Obviously, he's in conversation for even MVP a few times this season offensive player of the year He has had an exceptional year with the 49ers. Can we consider Christian McCaffrey and all-time great at this point in his career? Yeah, I just think how he affects the game That's what you look for Regardless of position when you play the game of football, how do you affect the game and he affects it in the run game? He affects it in the pass game his ability to make guys miss in space is a problem So when that happens you got to be ready. All right, they're gonna throw him a check down I got to be close to him if he if there's too much space between him and I he's gonna make me miss He's gonna he's gonna create problems so now linebacker sink down now the overstart to show up How do you affect the game he affects it? He's he's physical He's got burst he can make you miss and his love and his energy and how hard he plays the game of football is what separates him I so yes the answer question. Yes, I think he's gonna be a problem for the chiefs. I hope so Absolutely, so final question for you. You obviously still keep up with Football and the guys and you have great relationships with them still how do you want to stay involved in football? You know, is it coaching is that the next ten years of your life? Is it just watching as a lover of the game? How do you how do you stay involved in this? I think it's so great at I think it's a little bit of both Obviously come out here and do this you get to see all your buddies So that's number one I I do the radio with the Panthers, which is great get a get a chance to be around it be around the team Go to games feel the energy and the atmosphere of the game big moments low moments Follow the team throughout the offseason right now I think we've had a really good offseason and then I coach little kids, so that's that's super fun We coach the last two years and hopefully we can do it again this year and hopefully next year as well So try to stay involved as much as you can I think the game's been really good to me and I love it I want to be around as much as I can are the kiddos 15 and one yet or we work and we're working on it We're working on it. We had we had a good year the past two years.
