TD

Here's a guy that went from safety to linebacker. Do you realize what a jump that is? Gaining and losing 20-30 pounds to fit the mold. He's a pro's pro.

Every time I see him chase down a running back or tight end, I think, my God, this man has done this after destroying his knee three times. I popped my ACL once and limp every time it rains or gets cold or when I go 30 minutes on the treadmill.

For me, TD is the MVP of the defense if not the entire team. He's made play after play this year. Sacks, interceptions, tackles, this man has done it all. He's the soul of this team.

Regardless of what kind of accolades he receives, he is my favorite panther of all time. He deserves the pro bowl. He deserves a championship.

Let's get it panthers.

TD is a cool guy. If you go to training camp then you probably have seen TD out there signing autographs even after his second ACL injury which happened in mini camps. You can find a video on youtube of him talking about when he grew up Santa Claus never came to his house and he thought it was because he was a bad kid. So he started the Defending Dreams foundation to provide book bags, school supplies, bicycles and toys to kids that are less fortunate. That is the reason he was nominated for the Walter Payton Man of The Year award. Of all the individual honors that is the one I want him to win the most. The winner is honored on Super Bowl Sunday and the award is for being a role model in the community. Pro Bowl, MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, all of those awards are for doing what your supposed to really well. Walter Payton Man of the Year is for going above and beyond.

TD is a man I will always respect and admire. He epitomizes what it means to be a true professional, and he was blessed with exceptional athleticism as well.

 

If he were to retire tomorrow, it should be a very long time before they give out the number 58 again.

58 means so much to this team and to this fanbase. He's a modern legend. Much like the late great Mills, TD is a force on the field and a humble and generous person off. His resiliency is stuff of legends.

Hopefully when we make the super bowl, he gets a special on him. The rest of the nation should know this story. True inspiration.

I 2nd & 3rd what everyone had to say about TD. He's always been my favorite player on defense & would have been one of the greats if not for the injuries. Still I agree that TD is the heart & soul of this team. Him & Luke together are so much fun to watch & in my eyes the best duo in football. Would be great if we got at least 3 more yrs out of him without any set backs. God Bless TD for all be does & what he means to the Panther family.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
