Curtis Samuel earned his Panther card

On the day he learned he was lost for the season, Samuel signed autographs and passed out Thanksgiving turkeys at the Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club in Sedgefield.

Samuel, using crutches with his leg heavily wrapped, said he didn’t want to cancel his appearance.

“I’m in a little bit of pain, but that wasn’t going to stop me because I understand how important this moment is for these kids,” he said. “They look forward to this and I also was looking forward to this. So I wasn’t going to let an injury stop me from giving back.”

Samuel signed promotional fliers for the event, and also autographed several cell phones.

In return, he received a get-well card from a young girl and let several kids sign his Panthers cap.

After getting a turkey and an autograph, one girl started dancing with excitement.

“I wish I could dance with you,” Samuel said, smiling.

 

Well done Curtis.

Ive said this before, but I love how much this franchise gives back to the community.  They are always doing something and most we would never know about.  Good job young man!

Yes.  I was a fan of this team from the beginning because they are local.  But one thing now I really love is the character of this team.  It seems to mean something to be a Panther.....not just about football.  This is  a group of men we can be proud of.  They are making a difference and I was very impressed by Curtis Samuel.  Even as a young player...he gets it.  I hope he is a Panther for life....and a very prolific wide receiver.

I would say I am a “downer” 1% of the time. Huge fan of 10 and love the article. Just feeling a little bit worried about his durability. I think many of us have shared those concerns since the preseason. 

Lets hope it’s not a trend. Hoping for the best with him because he has so much talent and potential. 

Keep pounding youngster.

I was annoyed when he dropped that TD pass, but he made a grown man catch earlier where he got blasted and held on. Cancels each other out. Hate he’s gone for the season, needs the reps.  Hopefully it heals completely and he comes back to training camp ready to learn. I have very high hopes for this guy (after draft night 1 he was on the short list I posted here for wants in round 2 :) )

    • We've literally seen him hop around the pocket to survey the field in multiple occurrences. Defenses have this on tape. Cam and QB's like him built the way he was height and strength wise could get by on those natural gifts in their prime. Bryce Young is unequivocally going to have to go above and beyond with his footwork in order to carve out not just a long career but an elite career worthy of a top overall draft selection. We should be able to wholeheartedly agree with one another on that. Intermediate sideline throws without placing the ball out of bounds where the receiver has to contort themselves or make an absurd acrobatic catch for it to be a completion. And yes developing a better chemistry in the deep passing game with his receivers to avoid miscues. Both areas will need to see improvement if the young offense is to develop the way we hope in 2025. And we don't necessarily need to be winning mind you. But development of the supporting cast requires this from Bryce. We have invested a ton of capital in the offensive line. We've invested heavily in WR. We've invested in our backfield. We've invested in TE. We've got a young up and coming offensive minded head coach. The expectation should be for our redzone efficiency to improve significantly. That is not just on Bryce Young. But at the end of the day it will always begin and end with him more often than not. It's always been that way and that's just the nature of the position in this league. And not for nothing but before we drafted Bryce Young nobody was going around here saying we need elite play across the board and top shelf coaching for him to be effective. His biggest selling point was his ability to succeed off script and make something out of nothing. We're certainly going to have to see that come to fruition. Now we wait.
    • I said years ago that RBA was another Rivera. 
    • Honestly, for me, I actually don't care all that much about being the 1st overall pick and him living up to that selection. It's the trade we made to go get him that he has to live up to for me.   You can't be even just an average starting QB after a trade like that, because if that's all we're getting out of it, we could have kept going with journeyman type of QB's or taken a shot on a Jalen Milroe type in the 2nd to get similar play but then have kept Moore and all those other draft picks to build around them.
