Where Are They Now? 2003 Panthers

[Davidson Deac II]

Was just reading about Stephen Davis.  His is a sad story that we hear all to often about former players these days.

Today, Davis needs a television or other background noise on to drown constant ringing in his ears. There are “real bad” headaches. Blurred vision. He hates to be in sunlight. Driving is challenging.

The man who rushed for 8,052 yards and 65 touchdowns has a tough time getting out of bed and in and out of cars. He’ll need knee replacement. He can’t lift his arms above his shoulders or walk or stand for extended periods.

 

Quote

Knowing what Davis does today, would he change his career?

“I would’ve went out of bounds a lot more,” Davis said.

Interesting thread, definitely tragic on S.D. though. Topic maybe best served another time, but makes you wonder about your current stars choice of longevity for their well being.

Don't forget about Buck... Last I heard he was getting yelled at on his sideline while his players were getting annihilated by his former squad.

I was reading through making sure no one said this. Good job

I'm good friends with Shane Burton's brother, #98 DT, blocked a FG in SB,  Shane was living in Huntersville.  He now lives in LA (his daughters are pursuing a modeling/acting career).  His brother says his knees and shoulders are messed up.

My googling shows that moose owns wild wing cafe at the epicentre rather than buffalo wild wings at the nascar hall of fame.

I had lunch at the wild wing just today and i had noticed they had lots of panthers memorabilia but i never knew moose was part of it.

John Fox is the current coach of the Chicago Bears. Jay Cutler will get him fired in 12 months

We could have gone all day long without that memory.  Ha!

Yep, he's a businessman now. Also owns stake in Wild Wing Cafe.

Actually owns all of them. He has a private equity group, Axum Capital Partners. First investment they made. JR actually helped Moose meet the guys he started the firm with.
