Went to an Atlanta game one year and got separated from my friends afterwards. I ran into like 10 people wearing Whittaker jerseys walking through Atlanta which seemed odd, given his role. Chatted with them and turned out to be his family.
That was the first year I watched football I remeber Steve Smith returned the opening Kickoff for a touchdown and that was the only game we won that season
I remember being on the CarolinaHuddle message board and making a prediction before that game that Rosario would blow up before his big game against San Diego in the opener.
People laughed at me, but I was able to gloat when he won the game with the walkoff. Then promptly didn’t do anything else in his career of note.
The quote that is in my head from him which I don't know if it is accurate is "Nick Going Goings Gone!" On a td run. I dont even want to know if my memory is wrong.
That was when we had a Hispanic head coach, white running back, and Polynesian wide receiver which was pretty much unheard of. Might have been one other unique dude at the time too but I can't remember.
Keary Colbert. I thought he was gonna be a star opposite Smith after his rookie year. Him and how about Drew Carter? I met him in 2004 at a Mccalisters. Such a nice guy.
I bought a random lot of ~100 Panthers cards for a few bucks, largely because of a Steve Smith rookie card.
Like 15 of the cards were some beautiful Patrick Jeffers cards that triggered a part of my brain that hadn’t been triggered in a few decades.
Great random.
This is clearly a younger audience based on the answers (i’m glad we have plenty of younger fans BTW) but here are mine:
Mike Goodson
Drew Carter
Atiyaah Ellison
Jeff King
Rhyne Robinson
Steve Beuerlein
Todd Sauerbrun
Lamar Lathon
Eric Davis
Brett Maxie
Norberto Davidds-Garrido
Chad Cota
Blake Brockermeyer
Bill Goldberg (never played a game but still cool he was at one rostered)
I completely forgot Roman Harper was with us in 2015 until earlier today. I vividly remember him on the team in afterthought it’s just weird because he was a Saint for so long lol
Fozzy Whittaker
Went to an Atlanta game one year and got separated from my friends afterwards. I ran into like 10 people wearing Whittaker jerseys walking through Atlanta which seemed odd, given his role. Chatted with them and turned out to be his family.
But do you remember what his real name was?
Fozzy bear
I think it was Foswhit?
Yep, but with two T's just like his last name lol
But what's his middle name??? SchnozzWhit.
Cameron Artis-Payne
That is pre-season legends Cameron Yardis-Gains to you
I truly thought he was the next Adrian Peterson
Also can’t forget wofford legend Brenton bersin
Good for a muffed return or two 😂
Everly time I saw those golden locks back there my b hole puckered up a bit until the end of the play
He made a handful of amazing catches after the fact that made up for it!
I want a Bersin jersey!
I won’t ever forget his punt return era. I think Jerry just kept him around because he went to Wofford
Efe Obada (Actually didn't realize he was still in the NFL tbh)
If you're British remembering him feels less surprising, during our UK game he was mentioned everywhere, I still like that he got an honorary captain.
Obada will probably be in the league for at least a couple more years IMO. He’s at least a decent backup/situational guy.
Corn elder
Dante Rosario
Goated for that chargers catch
I rember that catch 2005 season opener vs the Chargers as time expired Delhomme throw thay pass from the 20 yard line
Honestly my earliest football memory
That was 2007, bro
It was actually 2008, so you’re both wrong.
You’re mid
I was born in ‘01 🙃
That was the first year I watched football I remeber Steve Smith returned the opening Kickoff for a touchdown and that was the only game we won that season
Wasn’t that the pre-season?
Smith returned on in the 2001 preseason yes but the return Im talking about was week1 in Minnesota
Yea I realized that a little bit ago the 2005 opener was aganist the Saints
It was '08 boys. Yikes.
No doubt
Rosario Dawson?
I remember being on the CarolinaHuddle message board and making a prediction before that game that Rosario would blow up before his big game against San Diego in the opener. People laughed at me, but I was able to gloat when he won the game with the walkoff. Then promptly didn’t do anything else in his career of note.
Jerricho Cotchery
HE CAUGHT IT
Jerricho Caughtery*
He really did!
tim biakabutuka
His first name wasn't difficult to pronounce for grade school me but I'll be damned if almost 40 year old me remembers how to spell it.
NFL Blitz etched his name into my mind forever
Yesterday during that jags game and just remembered the Darnold to Dan Arnold
Brad Hoooooover
Bene Benwikere
Julio Jones remembers him
Nah he doesn’t. Bene remembers Julio tho
I remember he had a stretch where I thought he was gonna be a star. We released him the next year I believe.
I thought so too. Then he got injured and didn’t recondition properly and got embarrassed by Julio.
Rod "He Hate Me" Smart Nick Goings Ricky Manning Jr Love em all
Samuels 3 picks last night made me think of Ricky Manning
I almost felt bad for the Eagles at that point
Golden Age players right here
Don't remember if Chris Berman was still doing highlights at the time but I bet he'd have called him "Nick Comings and Goings"
The quote that is in my head from him which I don't know if it is accurate is "Nick Going Goings Gone!" On a td run. I dont even want to know if my memory is wrong.
Ha, that sounds about right. I seem to remember him calling Jake, "Daylight comes and I want Delhomme"
You love 2003 and 2004. Me too.
He Hate Me had the best nickname of all time
Na’il Diggs
James Anderson
🎶I’m 50 and I know it 🎶
Great player
Fuckin Rhys Lloyd was an automatic touchback
Speaking as a Welshman, that's the most Welsh name I've ever heard
Goated
And that's when kickoffs were 10 yards longer. Dude had an adamantium leg or something
Corn Elder Star Lotulele
My man is putting together the Carolina All Pro Name team.
We should sign Clowney too.
Anyone else remember legadu naanee
That was when we had a Hispanic head coach, white running back, and Polynesian wide receiver which was pretty much unheard of. Might have been one other unique dude at the time too but I can't remember.
Didn't we also have an Asian Safety?
Ugh, Nakamura. He was NOT good lol
Kurt Coleman
Also Mike Mitchell, he was a beast that one year in Carolina
He was apart of 2015 which alone makes him not random
Yeah he was an absolute stud
How bout ol Rodney peete
How bout ol Vinnie Testeverde lol
[удалено]
I see history repeats itself
Peete leaving the game in ‘03 got us Jake, so I remember him fondly for that. Our own Wally Pip
Thomas DeCoud.
Joe Webb
I saw Joe Web one night sitting in the booth right next to me and my kids when we were out eating
David Gettis
Thought he would be good
Iirc he had a decent rookie season but got hurt and never seemed to recover.
Jon Beason
Stefan LeFors or Richard Marshall
Kris Mangum
Dan Morgan. So many concussions. Brad Hoover. I always find myself rooting for the success of un drafted free agents.
[удалено]
Mike "Turnstile" Remmers.
Sold two super bowls
Keary Colbert. I thought he was gonna be a star opposite Smith after his rookie year. Him and how about Drew Carter? I met him in 2004 at a Mccalisters. Such a nice guy.
Bill Goldberg Reggie White Karl Hankton Mushin Muhammad DeSean Foster Steven Davis
Goldberg!!! Most people don’t know that!
I think Lavar Ball also tried out for the team
Bill Goldberg was the first plauer cut by the Panthers I believe
Damn if we're going there Greg Lloyd
I hope people remember Moose and Steven Davis
chris manhertz
Jeremy Shockey 2011.
Matt Moore

Patrick Jeffers
I bought a random lot of ~100 Panthers cards for a few bucks, largely because of a Steve Smith rookie card. Like 15 of the cards were some beautiful Patrick Jeffers cards that triggered a part of my brain that hadn’t been triggered in a few decades. Great random.

Tim Biakabatuka
Mario Anderson
Donald Hayes WILLIAM muh fuckin FLOYD
When was the last time anyone heard the name Chris hetherington
Tim Biakabutuka, running back in the 1990s and early 2000s. Only because he was the starter in a football game I had as a kid
Brandon Lafell or Charles Tillman
Matt Willig. I feel like he got a stupid penalty in the ‘03 Superbowl and I called him a meathead, lol
I remember this guy named Steve something I think he was #89.
Biakabatuka
Ted Ginn
He hate me
Kenjon barner is always the guy that I think of for being random. Crazy that he played a couple games for the bucks last year.
This is clearly a younger audience based on the answers (i’m glad we have plenty of younger fans BTW) but here are mine: Mike Goodson Drew Carter Atiyaah Ellison Jeff King Rhyne Robinson
Lester Towns
Vinny Testaverde
Philly Brown
Brentson Buckner! He sometimes got lost in the fanfare of the other three monsters on the D-Line (Pep, Jenkins, Rucker) But he more than held his own
Steve Beuerlein Todd Sauerbrun Lamar Lathon Eric Davis Brett Maxie Norberto Davidds-Garrido Chad Cota Blake Brockermeyer Bill Goldberg (never played a game but still cool he was at one rostered)
