A compilation of big hits by Panthers. Sorry about the horrible quality, but it is extremely hard to find big hits for a specific team. We have some Chris Harris, Mike Minter, Julius Peppers, Jon Beason, Na'il Diggs, Thomas Davis, Chris Gamble, Richard Marshall, Steve Smith, Muhsin Muhammad, Jonathan Stewart, Dante Wesley, and Charles Godfrey just to name a few. All footage is that of the NFL and nfl.com. Song used is "Here Comes The Boom" by Nelly. The song is not my content either.

Well this one was bitter sweet. On one hand I'm happy to have that extra 18 million in cap space but on the other this was one of the most dominant Panthers players of all time. If this is it for Julius, good luck reaching your potential elsewhere. Carolina will never forget you!!!
