Very well deserved, indeed. Congrats are in order for 58.

CHARLOTTE – Linebacker Thomas Davisicon-article-link.gif has come back from three consecutive season-ending injuries to make an impact for the Panthers defense and he's making just as much of an impact with his charitable work off the field.

Davis has been chosen as the Panthers nominee for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award, given annually to a player for his community service activities as well as his excellence on the field.

"It is definitely a huge honor," Davis said. "To receive the (nomination) here on this team you have to be voted on by your teammates. I think they recognize all the work that we do in the community with my foundation. But it's not the reason we do it. We do it because we want to make a difference and impact the lives of children."

With the help of his wife, Davis runs the Thomas Davis Defending Dreams Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to providing and promoting programs that enhance the quality of life for underprivileged children and their families.

Davis is also a regular participant at team-organized community events and is involved with the American Heart Association, hunger relief efforts, Levine Children's Hospital and Muscular Dystrophy Association.

"Thomas has a very unselfish approach to the people in this community and to this team," head coach Ron Rivera said. "What he's given us in the last few years is a great example of somebody who won't quit. That rings true for who he is as a person."

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
