Can you believe there are only 51 days left until the NFL season begins? Time is certainly flying by isn’t it?
The number 51 means a lot to Panthers fans. To us, it’s a symbol of our Keep Pounding attitude thanks to the late great Sam Mills, who played for the Panthers from 1995-1997 as a linebacker. One of Mills’ greatest accomplishments on the field was his pick six against Bubby Brister that gave the Panthers their first win in franchise history, a 26-15 victory over the New York Jets.
Mills was a great player in his own right, but he is most remembered for the impact he made after his playing career was over.
