And you hardly hear a peep about this guy.  Just felt like starting an appreciation thread for one of the most underrated players in the league that has been nothing but consistent and professional during his time here.  It’s hard as hell to crack 20 sacks, and he might not, but he’s having a hell of a year.  Very real chance for him to set our all time season sack record this year.

Greatly appreciate the sentiment of the thread. Addison is a guy who flies under the radar a lot because he’s not flashy. Notional media never mentions him, local media seems to only in passing. Jacks oline yesterday was successful largely in containing what had been our white hot pass rush, yet super Mario found a way to generate that strip sack that Burns ran in for the TD. Those points were the difference on the scoreboard.

At 32, Addison may have been the quickest DE on the roster until Burns and Obada arrived. 

As an undrafted FA, Addison bounced around to 3 different teams before joining the Panthers in 2012. He's now 4th on the Carolina all-time sack list with 45.5, passing Kevin Greene this season. He'll probably reach Rucker's 55.5 this season as well and become #3 on the Panther all-time list. 

OP is correct, one of the most underappreciated players on this roster.

He gave Jourdan Rodrigue a great line while describing a play where he was chasing Minshew.

“I know when I was running after him one time, I saw his mustache fall off and run the other way,” joked Addison. “So I went for the mustache while he kept running away. I had to re-direct.”

Couldn’t be a better person to break that record. I think he’s under contract for next year and he’s getting up there in age. Although he seems to be getting better with age so a nice two year extension would be great if it doesn’t seem like he’s slowing down.

      Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets   The Charlotte Hornets are coming off a promising 2025 NBA Draft class and will enter Summer League with no shortage of new faces looking to make an impression. But the most interesting addition didn’t come from the draft board. Instead, it’s DJ Rodman — the 24-year-old son of Hall of Famer and five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman — who’s bringing some extra attention to the Hornets’ Summer League roster. Rodman played four years at Washington State before making the move to USC for his final season.  He wasn’t exactly lighting it up with the Trojans, putting up about 6 points, four boards, and an assist each game. But he did shoot well — hitting around 41% from the field and draining 36% of his three-pointers.  Standing 6-foot-6, he’s got the size to play on the wing and offers some versatility, which could be just what the Hornets are looking for as they try to fill out their roster. The Hornets’ Summer League squad already has plenty of fresh faces with this year’s draft picks and young guys fighting for a role. But Rodman’s last name alone is enough to turn heads, and now he’ll get his shot to prove he belongs once the games tip off in Vegas. Charlotte’s Summer League team is already drawing interest with recent draft picks and young players hoping to crack the rotation. But Rodman’s last name — and his potential to bring energy and toughness — adds another layer of intrigue. What Rodman lacks in college stats, he makes up for with hustle and competitiveness — traits his dad was known for throughout his Hall of Fame career. If he can bring that same energy and show growth in Summer League, he could carve out a role and surprise some people. Though the odds are against him making the Hornets’ final roster, there’s no denying the spotlight that comes with the Rodman name. The Hornets kick off Summer League next week in Las Vegas.   Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets
