Right or wrong and no matter on which side of the fence you land, there’s no denying the impact Thomas Davis made in a Carolina Panthers uniform. Since being selected in the first-round (No. 14 overall) of the 2005 NFL Draft, Davis has done nothing other than give his all for the black and blue.
For fourteen years Davis anchored the Panthers defense from his linebacker position. Even before the emergence of Luke Kuechly alongside him, Davis was already a household name. He became the first athlete to return from three different ACL injuries and like a fine wine, improved his performance with age.
