CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WGHP) — The Carolina Panthers are preparing to host their first home playoff game in a decade on Saturday and fans of the team are calling for one of the franchise’s legends to return.

 

Throughout home games in recent seasons, the Carolina Panthers have frequently selected an iconic player from the team’s past to serve as a “Legend of the Game” and bang the Keep Pounding drum as part of the team’s pregame ceremony.

Players who served as the “Legend of the Game” in 2025 include Greg Olsen, Mike Rucker, Jordan Gross and Captain Munnerlyn.

Speaking of Munnerlyn, in a recent episode of his “No Cappin With Cap” podcast, he floated the subject of the Panthers selecting Newton to serve as the team’s “Legend of the Game” if they were to make the playoffs.

 

Newton responded “-1ØVẼ” to the post in his unique style of typing, seemingly expressing his approval of the concept. He also recently shared his emotional reaction to the Panthers returning to playoff contention in a recent segment of his “4th&1” podcast.

 

Newton returning to Bank of America Stadium as the Panthers host their first playoff game since Newton’s 2015 MVP season would likely generate a raucous reaction from the fans, similar to when Newton returned to Charlotte in 2021

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
