SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) When people first meet Michael Oher naturally they want to ask him about the 2009 hit movie ''The Blind Side,'' which is based on his life as an underprivileged youth growing up in Memphis, Tennessee.

However, the Carolina Panthers starting left tackle would prefer to leave the notoriety he garnered from the film in the past.

As strange as that sounds to fans of the film, Oher is not a big fan of ''The Blind Side.''

He doesn't like the attention it has brought on him, saying that offensive linemen shouldn't be in the limelight.
