I went home for lunch and saw that our 2003 Super Bowl was being replayed.  With the recent comments from some on the 2003 team that the 2015 team would beat them, and the thread from GRWatcher I began to wonder where some of the players and coaches are now.

In addition, I know a few ex Panthers like Jordan Gross and DeShaun Foster are going to be in Santa Clara and we have seen Moose on our sideline and Brentson Buckner last week on the wrong sideline.  So I googled a few of them and these interested me.  If anyone has any more info on them or would like to add another player/coach from that team chime in! 

 

Todd Sauerbrun.  I found a good article here on his successes and failures.  I always liked the dude and his hustle but pretty negative article here.  Putting him down as our very own  "whereabouts unknown" ......  aka Bluto.

Rod Smart, found out he is a counselor in Charlotte today from this article.  Always thought he was a great contributor to Special Teams and I like how this article reveals he "thought about" renaming himself in the NFL like he had in the XFL with "He Hate Me" but realized that in XFL he was #2 rusher but in NFL he had a different role.  Said he was Ocho Cinco before Ocho Cinco was cool.

Jeff Mitchell was the subject of the earlier thread.  He still lives in Charlotte and thinks it is going to be a "boring" SB because the Panthers will jump on them early and often.  Here is the article from earlier thread and here is another good article from Baltimore media.

Mike Minter is head coach at Campbell University in Buies Creek NC and a good Twitter  follow.

Moose is or was a broadcaster. Not sure if he is still doing it, but he won an Emmy. Which would have to make him the only Carolina Panther player to play in a Super Bowl and win an Emmy award.

Moose owns Buffalo Wild Wings uptown as well as real estate here in Charlotte iirc

I'll be wearing my #30 Minter Super Bowl XXXVIII jersey tomorrow.

 

edit: looking at that photo he looks like he might could still give it a go

Minter was such a hard hitter he had a knot on his forehead for years. Glad to see it's gone now. There was no better than #30. I still have his jersey too

Dante Wesley was a guy I followed because he always came to ILM with the preseason caravan and again, I like special teams players.  Here is a 2014 article about domestic violence and it seems he is shelling a book.  

of course, he'll always be remembered for this bone-head play

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
