Sam Mills inducted into Pro Football Hall of Fame

Mills constantly defied the odds and inspired a generation of Saints and Panthers fans during his now Hall of Fame career. After he was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2003 while coaching with Carolina, he continued to inspire. His motto "Keep Pounding" became a rallying cry for the Panthers during their 2004 playoff run. His words resonated across the nation, and Mills' Keep Pounding Fund has raised $4.4 million for cancer research.
