Sam Mills statue?

Sorry this is not a thread about Hardy or Suh.

 

I just google on the internet and haven't seen any good photo of the Sam Mills statue (it looks so small in those pics), as you know it is a very important symbol of this franchise but I just barely see photos of it. There should be more information about this man and his statue, shouldn't there?

 

Just curious about it...

Sam Mills is more a legend than he was an amazing player. Not saying that he wasn't an amazing player, because he was, but he's a guy that was bigger than football, and that's the most important thing. Honestly, Saints fans and Panthers fans are the only places that legend is recognized, and he played on some really shitty Saints teams.

Mighty, I know you are in China so I'm not sure what types of video sites you have access to but search NFL Films Presents Sam Mills. It's a pretty lengthy video on his career. It's tough because not many people take interest in him so you don't find much on YouTube.

 

I will tell you the Statue is considerably bigger than Sam Mills was in person. He was a Steve Smith sized man playing middle linebacker. Incredible determination just to make a roster.

To help put this in perspective, Mills couldn't get a college scholarship at any level due to his height. He was a walk on, went undrafted, then couldn't even make a CFL roster due to his height.

He went on to become a muti-time All Pro selection and had his #51 retired by two teams.

    • I truly do not understand why we rushed him back last season, we were a bad team with an already productive back in Chuba. Brooks looked like he was 60% back and clearly hadn’t regained full movement in his knee and confidence, no surprise he got reinjured. Shame on this training staff, look no further then Chuba returning too soon this season, I don’t care how bad a player wants to come back a training staff is there to protect them. Brooks is a great person and was an amazing player prior to both injuries, I hope he’s recovering well.
    • Brother thanks for sharing and all. Just for a 21 year army guy you sure over used your brain power on this interaction little too much...  Not that's Im taking a side or nothing, Ive never been a bully fan * in extreme deals bullying in needed..... I've heard from smart people in and around Panthers, Smitty needed Angie for guidance BADLY.  I've honestly thought if Smitty was born 20 years later, he should have taken a MMA path and not only would he have been a champion but a humbled good man with or without Angie helping him. He has never took off the enmoureous chip on his shoulder and it has branched off as a stick in arse over time too. Still everyone can not be or act the same with emotions, we are chemical sacks of water and bones. He reminds me of brain-washed individuals that can not turn off the switch. Plus he is high on thinking he's smarting than he is.......its a dangerous combo, but that's mainly what gave him the edge in life to live out the American dream......soooo I dare say change, but its sad at the same time. All those poor women that get involved with narcissistic disloyal men, one of the few times I agree to take what ever form them in court...
    • Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.
