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.

    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
    • poo I doubt any Bucs fan would trade Baker for BY either lol.
