Former Panthers outside linebacker Kevin Greene died today at the age of 58. Greene played for Carolina three seasons in the 1990s and finished his career ranked third in NFL history in sacks.
Like Greene, Panthers rookie defensive tackle Derrick Brown also played his college ball at Auburn, so they shared a similar football background. Brown also got some one-on-one mentoring from Greene during the run-up to the 2020 NFL draft. Brown shared a video of that along with a message thanking Greene for his mentorship on Twitter.
RIP KEV I appreciate your mentoring 🤞🏾❤️ https://t.co/Q9eRO0rwW3
