lmao i was so convinced ziemba was a diamond in the rough back in the day

I used to go with my fraternity brothers to Buffalo Wild Wings in Tiger Town every Sunday to watch NFL games and Ziemba and Neil Caudle (one of Cam's backup QBs) used to sit at the table next to us every week. Ziemba never got hot wings -- always the lemon pepper

Remember Dan Connor? I used to have high hopes for him. Injuries ruined his first stint for us and then he randomly came back in like the middle of 2013 for a few games as a backup. 

 

Also, I still have random thoughts that Melvin White should've been our Malcolm Butler. Ron moved on from him too easily if you ask me.

DC is now a DC (d-coord) for some private college in his home state of Pennsylvania

He had that sick int vs Atlanta! That’s all I remember from him.

Our D in 2013 was elite because of the front 7 for sure, but White I think started most of those games and was very solid. No idea why he couldn't even last as a backup after that but I think he was out of the league in like 2 years...

Ones who popped into my head when I saw the thread: 

Iheanyi Uwaezuoke
Jason Peter (read his book, it's fantastic)
Nick Hayden
Sione Fua
Lee Ziemba
Stefan LeFors
Keary Colbert

Oh God Fua.....we could have drafted his teammate at Stanford who went later in the same draft, Richard sherman

    • not sure if any of this is news, but a good summary of our situation heading into training camp.  It's sure gonna be good getting Derrick back. After missing virtually all of the 2024 season, Panthers defensive tackle Derrick Brown is aiming for a full return to the field during training camp later this summer, per Joseph Person of The Athletic. Brown tore his meniscus in Week 1 and underwent season-ending surgery that has kept him limited through spring practices, though he did participate in “walk-throughs and light side work” during mandatory minicamp, according to Person. Brown originally stated a desire to be ready for the 2025 regular season, but his timeline appears to have moved up. Brown’s injury was particularly disappointing after a career-best 2023 season. He led all defensive linemen with 103 total tackles and was named to his first Pro Bowl, earning him a four-year, $96MM extension from the Panthers in April 2024. While he has never been a prolific pass rusher, Brown’s size and power has consistently commanded double-teams and created opportunities for his teammates. His impact was evident last season, as Carolina’s run defense ranked dead-last in his absence. The Panthers spent significant resources this offseason on defensive line depth, which should allow them to manage Brown’s usage more carefully coming off a major injury. He played a whopping 940 defensive snaps in 2023 (89% of the team’s total) and was on the field for almost every play before his injury last year. With new teammates Tershawn Wharton, Bobby Brown III, and Cam Jackson ready to share the load, Derrick Brown can take a lower snap share to stay fresh and healthy for the entire season. Here are a few updates on other Panthers returning from injuries:     https://www.profootballrumors.com/2025/06/panthers-injury-updates-brown-tremble-barno-wallace
    • Yeah it's kind of like they don't want him on the team anymore for some reason
