Luke Kuechly is the former NFL Defensive Player of the Year, a perennial All-Pro and the centerpiece of the Panthers defense.

If not the most, he's one of the more popular players on the team, and is greatly involved in the Charlotte community. Luke is all that, and now, it turns out, he's a gender-reveal specialist, too!

That's Luke announcing to the world that Britt and Samantha Johnson are expecting twin boys. Britt's an assistant baseball coach at Appalachian State and also a huge Panthers fan.

They hit up the Panthers practice in Charlotte after their gender-reveal ultrasound. What better way to inform their friends and family than having No. 59 do it, right?

Samantha Johnson and Britt Johnson discuss the gender reveal and the awesomeness of Luke Kuechly.

Britt told me via Twitter that Luke "is such a great representative of the Panthers and the NFL. He was so humble and a class act."

As the proud father of twin boys myself - I have some advice for the Johnsons: RUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNN! I kid of course - it's awesome.

As for Luke's next step - it's fairly obvious to me. Deliver the babies! How hard can it be?
