Gave up his plane seat to a Vet today...shows what kind of person he is.He works hard for breast cancer awareness...always willing to be friendly and interact with our fanbase....always smiling it seems.Lost his mom recently and handled it like a man on his social media posts, very thankful and grateful to all.I know he will be gone next year and I hope he has a productive season.Regardless of the asinine contract Hurney gave him and how some dislike him for that reason...he is still a good guy, great with the fans and gives 100% on the field.Props to you Deangelo.

That was nice of him, and I don't mean to downplay that act but I kind of wondered why he felt the need to post about it.

All good deeds shouldn't have to be a secret. Heck, it made me feel a little better about the potential goodness of people knowing he made such a respectful gesture. Hopefully, his post will inspire others to do the same.

I did not read any post so take my comments with a grain of salt. He does not seem to be an attention hound so I would think it might be just to let people know "hey I did a good deed, so can you" type thing. I believe he is a genuine guy. People like him and TD are really are gems for this team.

Unfortunately it appears the guy isn't really a Marine... wearing his cover indoors, medals displayed incorrectly, etc... read the comments in the FB post.

DeAngelo had no way of knowing, still a good deed!

He had to let people know. Otherwise this service member just thinks some black guy with giant thighs gave me his seat. Or maybe he saw a young man or woman willing to put down their life so he can play a game for millions of dollars.

Are there any military men on this forum that can confirm this?

It's tough to tell from the photo. I can see a Silver Star and he's an E-9. There aren't that many E-9's around and he's black so that really narrows down the list. I don't see why anyone would fake that of all ranks.

    • Here is what it said about him coming out of college: Overview A three-year starter with good feet and technique, Samac could be in consideration for a move-blocking rushing attack. He is strong at the point of attack but will have limitations against NFL power. He operates with good hand placement and nimble feet and is a demon once he’s on the move as a pulling center leading the way. He’s fluid and agile in the run game, but those traits fail to do as much for him in protection. Samac punches with inside hands but can struggle to widen his protection base in order to protect his edges. He has eventual starting talent as a run blocker but needs to add more mass and improve in pass protection to get there.
    • Through 2 games cltfc has 12 shot attempts. Opponents 23 shots on target. Attack sucks, Defense definitely sucks. Kahlina is the only reason they haven't given up 14 goals in two games. 
    • I met a few times--never liked him. I figured he might have had a bad day--but then realized that he must have a lot of bad days. Once he raised his voice at my son because my son did not understand a question when SS was signing his jersey.  I wanted the jersey to represent his encounter with a Panther great, not some small man with a bad attitude.  I told me son, "Forget it.  He was asking you what your name is (My son was about 7 and told me that he thought Smitty was going to write (my son's) name on the jersey.  He said "Dad, I thought he was supposed to write HIS name on the jersey, not mine."  I said, "He was personalizing it, writing it to you--like a birthday card."  He is now grown, and he has a steve smith Jersey that is framed and matted.  He keeps it is his closet.  I asked him, "Why not have that out on your wall?"  He said, "All I remember is an A-hole scribbled on my shirt.  I don't remember a legend or hero.  But he had a Jake Delhomme Jersey on his wall.  "Jake was great.  I will always remember that."  (Jake stayed and talked to us for about 5 minutes or more--GREAT guy.)
