They are one of the most entertaining groups on the Carolina Panthers team - the defensive backs, better known to Panthers fans as the "thieves."

Josh Norman, Roman Harper, Kurt Coleman, and Tre Boston sat down for a group interview with WBTV before leaving for Super Bowl 50.

When asked what made them really gel this season, Josh Norman answered, “These teammates genuinely do care, and it’s one of those things where everybody is fighting hard for one another and they’re trying to help instead of hinder you or even try to belittle you or anything like that.”

They also talked about the nickname "thieves" and where it started.

“You know Coach Washington,” said Norman. “It started back in OTAs. We said we were going to lead the team in takeaways."

"It was the first vision we had as a collective group,” said Kurt Coleman. "We were going to take every ball that was thrown our way, but then as Roman and Josh have been saying at the training camp we built such a camaraderie that we believe that it wasn’t just a saying - that is who we are.

That motto has now become a way of life for the group - so much so that they even took a Thieves Avenue sign with them to hang up in the locker room for the Super Bowl.

“It’s kind of neat to see [the fans] embrace it as well. Over social media, I’ve seen it tons of times,” said Tre Boston.

Who would have thought that we would see Roman Harper as a role model and Steve Smith as a selfish bitter jerk. 

Dave Gettleman took this team through the twilight zone and freekin owned it. 

Man I love this team. The defense gets to practice against the best scoring offense in the league and this offense gets to practice against the turnover leaders in the league. Winning is inevitable.

I think it points up the fact that what you see in public doesn't always match up with what's really happening in private.
