Sam Mills selected as HOF Finalist

Trev said
Panthers will claim this one hard

They will try, but his plaque under his bust will always say...

Sam Mills
Linebacker
New Orleans Saints 1986-94
Carolina Panthers 1995-97

To my knowledge, they don’t include the years spent as a coach unless they’re inducted as a coach. For example, Ditka’s plaque only has the years and teams of his playing career.

Zero mention of his coaching career and he was a head coach, not a positional coach like Mills.
