Thomas Davis' Acceptance of Bart Starr Award


Jackofalltrades

Recommended Posts

I didn't see this posted anywhere and I was touched by his speech. As always he's humble, appreciative and emotional and those are also the qualities that make him such an outstanding player and man.

TD is my favorite Panther of all time and we're going to look into working with his foundation to serve the less fortunate in our community. He is a man I want my son's to know, recognize and emulate. He represents all that is great about sports and is fully aware of his impact as a role model. He's one of my heroes and that's not a term I take lightly.

Here are two videos from the Super Bowl Breakfast. The first is his acceptance speech and the second is the entire breakfast and ceremony. 

It's absolutely worth the watch and I hope you realize, if you haven't already, how special Thomas Davis to the Panthers and all those he serves.

I LOVE TD as a player and as a man & role model. 

Haven't seen it reported, but he also won ANOTHER award this past week:  The Byron "Whizzer" White man of the year award - another award voted on by players

Fun fact: decades after his football career was over, Byron "Whizzer" White was appointed to the Supreme Court.

    • I'm gonna be a grandpa!  My 2 year old son sat on my lap Panther's inaugural season in Clemson.  Die hard fans ever since.  Now he's going to be a daddy and sharing the fan tradition with a custom made shirt.  Check out the little fella in the sonogram (look closely).
    • Watch out now...... I agree but many others disagree with this line of thinking.  I seen a recent summary too- Which would you rather have the best safety or the 8th best edge? Best safety maybe kyle hamilton, the 8th best edge is Maxx Crosby. Id take maxx even with Myles or TJ on the roster. Plus if you don't like Maxx as 8th best, Id take whoever the 8th best edge is over the Kyle.  Panthers need a starter level edge, the only realistic shot is using the 1st rounder. But if somehow a stud LT pulls out a gas mask and falls to 19, draft them if much higher ranked.  The funny deal is those teams drafting in the late portion of drafts don't need edge, QB, WR, or OT..... I wonder why?!??? hmmmmmmm.... plus it pays off for them, cause they do need OG, ILB, TE, safety..... and now they get a top level player to remain great....
    • Wrong conclusion. FOs should look at this and say “What can I do to better set up my top pick to succeed?” Not say welp I guess I just shouldn’t draft the most talented player at the most important position. It’s like saying the Cavaliers shouldn’t have drafted Lebron because they did a poor job building around him and he didn’t start winning championships until he left. It’s silly. Should teams also look and say “wow look at all these super bowls won by QBs drafted in the 5th round, guess that’s the best round to draft a QB.” Nonsense.
