When the Carolina Panthers signed Charles Tillman, they knew what they were getting. Tillman may be a 13-year veteran, but as Bill Voth of Black And Blue Review puts it, he's essentially the definition of a player-coach.

“Peanut and I have a great relationship. He understands my demeanor, my demand on the DBs and the things that I expect. He’s really an extension of my voice out there on the football field,” said assistant head coach Steve Wilks, who also heads the secondary.
