The quiet life: If Carolina OT Michael Oher isn’t mentioned, he’s doing his job

The most well-known offensive lineman in the NFL has hardly been heard from this season.

That’s a good thing for the Carolina Panthers – and for Michael Oher.

The Panthers’ left tackle entered the league in 2009 a few months before the release of “The Blind Side,” the movie that chronicled Oher’s rags-to-riches story and grossed nearly $256 million in the U.S.

Oher, who signed with the Panthers during the offseason after a disappointing one-year stint in Tennessee, never sought the attention and has said the film made him a target by creating expectations that other linemen didn’t face.
