Sam Mills - Former Panthers LB Dies
Good player, sorry to hear about it.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2040015

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers linebackers coach Sam Mills, considered one of the best players in the franchise's history, has died from intestinal cancer, the team said Monday.

Mills, 45, was diagnosed in August 2003. At the time, doctors told him he had only a few months to live. But Mills underwent chemotherapy and radiation and continued coaching.

Mills continued coaching through the 2004 season, but took a turn for the worst in recent weeks.

He had a 12-year career and is the only player in the Panthers Hall of Fame. Mills also is a member of the New Orleans Saints Hall of Fame and the Sports Hall of Fames for Louisiana and New Jersey.

During those nine seasons with the Saints, Mills was selected to the Pro Bowl four times and was part of history when he and the other linebackers of the New Orleans famed "Dome Patrol" -- Vaughan Johnson, Rickey Jackson and Pat Swilling -- were all chosen to the 1992 Pro Bowl, the first time a team sent all four of its linebackers to Hawaii for the game.
Those four LB's were truly four of the best ever on one team.
Sorry to see Sam go, sounds like he was a truly great person also.

Bummer. Like others here, I was a fan of Sam Mills. He, Johnson, Jackson, and Swilling were probably in the top ten LB corps ever.

I'm curious why men who are great players AND great men are getting cancer and dying young while asshats like Jim Brown and the like seem to hang around like a festering sore forever.

Only the good die young.

RIP Sam.
You were great both on and off the field.
