The Carolina Panthers will have a couple of very special guests on the field during the pregame Sunday — Saundra and Chancellor Lee Adams.

“What a nice gesture by the team!” Saundra Adams said Friday. “We are both so excited.”

For the past 19 years, the Panthers have kept far away from this story. They fired Carruth, their former first-round draft pick, in December 1999 after he fled North Carolina in the trunk of a Toyota Camry following the death of Cherica Adams. And that’s been it. The Panthers really haven’t had anything to do with the Adamses in a positive or negative way.

But now Saundra and Chancellor Lee will not only be on the field during pregame, but they will also have lower-level seats for the Baltimore-Carolina contest.

To me, this represents a long overdue step by the Panthers and I applaud them for it. Kudos to Riley Fields, the team’s director of community relations, for making it happen in conjunction with a dedicated Carolina fan named Jason Underwood.

Like Scott Fowler said, this was LONG overdue. I'm very happy that Chancellor Lee Adams and Saundra Adams will be at the game tomorrow!

Normally I think once people have paid their debt to society for their crime, we're too harsh on them. A felony conviction is pretty much a life ruiner. Can't vote, can't legally own firearms, virtually completely unemployable by any company that does even the most basic of background checks. There really isn't much of an opportunity to actually turn your life around.

But sorry, in this case... fug that guy. What he did is completely unforgiveable IMO and his life should be ruined.

Not disagreeing with the fug that guy sentiments but his life is ruined.

      XL about to turn the corner

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
