DeAngelo Williams
DeAngelo Williams was selected as the 27th overall pick in the first round of the 2006 NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers. He played nine seasons with the Panthers and two seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers before retiring after the 2016 season.

He rushed for 8,096 yards and 61 touchdowns on 1,730 carries over his career, while also contributing in the receiving game with 2,106 yards and 9 touchdowns. His best season came in 2008 when he rushed for 1,515 yards and led the league with an impressive 18 touchdowns.

Trai Turner
Trai Turner was selected in the third round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers. He played college football at LSU before making the jump to the pros. Turner quickly established himself as a reliable presence on the offensive line and became one of the better guards in the league during his time with the Panthers.
He spent six seasons with the Panthers and made five consecutive Pro Bowl appearances from 2015 to 2019. In 2020, he was traded to the Los Angeles Chargers, where he played for one season followed by a season with the Steelers and then Commanders.
During his time in Carolina, Turner was a key component of a Panthers offense that made it to the Super Bowl in the 2015 season, although they ultimately lost to the Denver Broncos.

Steve Bono
Steve Bono is probably best remembered for his time with the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs. However, Bono spent 15 years in the NFL playing for seven different teams: the Vikings, Steelers, 49ers, Chiefs, Packers, Rams, and Panthers.
After being selected in the sixth round of the 1985 NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings, Bono had the opportunity to work with some of the best coaches and players in the league. For example, he joined the San Francisco 49ers in 1989, where he had the chance to learn from Hall of Fame QBs Joe Montana and Steve Young.
In 1995, Bono became the starting quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs. That year, he led the Chiefs to a 13-3 record and a first-place finish in the AFC West. His performance earned him a spot in the Pro Bowl.
