You mean J Leman? 

I remember him playing middle linebacker and making about 5-6 tackles during a preseason game. I distinctly was thinking, I can't wait to read the huddle and see how people are overreacting. Because he has long blond hair, I bet there will be someone putting out brilliance and saying he reminds them of Kevin Greene even though they play completely different positions and have completedly different jobs. Sure enough, AKPantherfan came through and said "This guy reminds me of Kevin Greene!!"

If anyone is wondering how Haruki Nakamura is doing he lives in Asheville and is a neighbor to a friend of mine. Told me he’s doing well and is extremely nice.

Ricky Manning Jr.

He was a huge part of our first Super Bowl runs but his career quickly fizzled out after they changed how illegal contact is called.

Wasn't his illegal  contact issue that he was accused of assaulting some guy late night at a Denny's restaurant and breaking the man's laptop in 2006? Oh and getting into a fight with two male cheerleaders outside a bar in 2002.

That kind of illegal contact can just ruin a career.

(Sad, too, because he was a heck of a player for a while there. Basically won us that game in Philly before the Super Bowl).

I often wonder what happened to Jordan Carstens. Hated that his career got cut short due to kidney problems. That was one country strong guy and he could do some damage from the DT position. I think he'd have had an outstanding career otherwise.

He still played three more seasons. He was just a VERY physical old school CB and that style of play basically got outlawed.

Chris Gamble

IMO, one of the most underrated Panthers. The guy was a very good CB but never got a ton of press because he just quietly did his job. He was basically Bradberry before Bradberry. At least we were smart enough to hang onto the first iteration.

Gamble was the silent assassin. He just completely took one half of the field away from a team's passing offense. After the first couple of seasons he quit getting many interceptions simply because no team would pass anywhere within 15 yards of him.

Never barked, never trash talked, never self promoted -- just took his opponent's number one receiver out of the game.
