The Panthers will wear a No. 51 decal on their helmets during Thursday night’s game to honor Mills, who wore that number for Carolina while playing for the team from 1995-97. The team’s current players had an advance screening of the film Saturday in Charlotte.

Said Panthers coach Ron Rivera Wednesday of why he chose to show the film to the team: “It’s just understanding our history. We’re no longer a relatively new franchise. We’ve got history and Sam Mills is such an integral part of the history. … I think it made an impact. I think they hit a home run with this one.”

Jim Mora Sr., who coached Mills in both the USFL and with the New Orleans Saints, makes the striking statement in the film that Mills was “the best player I ever coached” – and then adds that he also coached Peyton Manning for four years in the NFL.
