It didn’t take much for the Carolina Panthers family to embrace linebacker Frankie Luvu.
His noted work ethic, inspiring presence as a teammate and timely plays—all in his very first season in Charlotte—made him one of the few bright spots in what was an otherwise dim 2021 season. And he only needed about 23 percent of the snaps on defense, and a little dirty work on special teams, to do it.
So you best believe there were plenty of happy campers on social media upon the announcement of his two-year extension on Thursday.
