Kuechenberg would help the Dolphins reach three straight Super Bowls and win two in the 70s while going to four Pro Bowls and earning a First Team All-Pro in 1978. Late in his career, he would go to two more Pro Bowls in his last two seasons in the game (1982 & 1983) and provided a veteran presence to a rebounding team.
While Kuchenberg could be accurately criticized for being a malcontent, and one of the moodiest players ever, there was no doubt that he was excellent as his job as a pro football player. Kuechenberg was a Finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame eight times but never got in. He was however selected in 1995 for the Dolphins' Honor Roll.
