The Panthers accept terms with Ikem Ekwonu

“I actually wore a Thomas Davis jersey when I was growing up,” Ekwonu said the night of the draft. “And I actually met Thomas Davis this morning, too. So it’s a little crazy how things go. I was at the NFC Championship game when they beat the Cardinals. I was right in the goal zone. I’ve been to a few games.

“I’ve been able to see the ups and downs of the team and I’m just so lucky to have such an impact on the team’s legacy.”
