This roster seems devoid of men who know this legacy and the impact of this man, and I hope discussion may help change that

Sam Mills could’ve been at home taking care of himself, not working 15 hour work days for that familiar Panther logo.

but it meant that much to him. 

get up in this thread and spend some time thinking on the man who truly Kept Pounding on the day he finally gets what he earned.

“Delhomme’s most poignant memory of Mills came earlier that season, a few days after a loss to Dallas. Delhomme recalled feeling sore, sluggish and uncharacteristically sorry for himself as he walked to practice. Then Mills jogged past, slapped Delhomme on the back side and said, "Let’s go get better."

Delhomme refers to that moment as an awakening in which he told himself: "You need to grow up and try to be just a tenth of this guy."

"Everybody knew he was dying," Delhomme continued. "He was doing chemo. And he’s running out to practice ... and he’s going to coach his ass off."

That's amazing.

I was traveling for the actual induction but was able to see the replay on AFN today.

I think they did a great job of mixing both New Orleans and Carolina videos.  As a player he was with New Orleans longer and a part of one of the best linebacking Corps in NFL history.  However, overall Sam spent more time with Carolina as a player/coach.  So the mix was good.   I glad they mentioned the mantra several times because it is a part of Carolina as much as the Washington fight song or J.E.T.S Jets Jets Jets is for NY.  

I was happy to see him make it.  We'll have a few more soon in SS Sr and JP and Luke.
