Munnerlyn's quick success with the Panthers mirrors the impact he made as a freshman at South Carolina in 2006, when he excelled defending then-Gamecocks' star receiver Sidney Rice in practice.

"After my first practice, he gave me his number and started texting me," Munnerlyn said of Rice, who's now a starter for the Minnesota Vikings. "He was like, `I see something in you. You can be good. Stay humble and stay hungry.'"

Munnerlyn said he kept those text messages until his phone broke.

Once he came to Carolina, Smith gave him similar encouragement, which Munnerlyn embraced with almost childlike excitement.

"I was like, `This is Steve Smith! It's the NFL! This is like a dream come true!'" said Munnerlyn.

I remember that there were a whole bunch of people who said he was just "camp fodder."

Look at him now bitches.

I held out my opinon because I honestly didn't know anything about him. But I do now. I think he has preformed the best out of any of our CBs (Gamble included) during preseason and our 1st 2 games.

      Clowney on Bryce Young

      i love people with no medical experience making tenuous assumptions based on, uh, the fact his dad sucked in every practical lab in med school and had to go into psychiatry its fun to think of what these same fans would be saying with any other profession "well his dad was a cardiologist so obviously he knows how to stay calm." "well his dad was a neurologist so oviously he keeps his brain waves at a low level and isn't at risk of seizure, which is good (obviously)." "well his dad is a surgeon so he knows how to overcome his lack of confidence over height." "well his dad was a pediatrician so that's why he looks like a child, but kids don't get injured easily and have limitless potential so-"

      Oh it’s made the decision easier knowing we were years away from competing. He just obviously didn’t think it was some sort of clown show as he took a job with that staff and still hangs around to help. Injuries were the major concern. Willis retired “early” as well, plus there was another very young LB in SF that did. Positions that take a lot of impact are starting to not push themselves too late in their careers to protect their long term health.

      Obviously his health was the reason but the state of the team definitely helped. Luke doesn't strike me as someone who cares about individual accomplishments much at all. He loved the game and he wanted to win with the Panthers.  He wouldn't risk his life to go chase a ring elsewhere. It was difficult for him to step away from a team that was bad, if the Panthers were serious contenders I really think he would have tried to see it through.  Everything worked out the way that it was meant to in the end. It was sad seeing his career cut short but if he had a suffered a serious injury from football I can't even imagine. EDIT: To be clear I don't think the medical staff was part of his decision at all. It just helped that the team was far from winning a SB when he bowed out.
