38 photos from the Panthers’ trip to Super Bowl XXXVIII
One of the greatest Super Bowls in history took place 20 years ago. But unfortunately for the Carolina Panthers, it didn’t end with the franchise’s first Lombardi Trophy.
As we get ready for the biggest game of the year, let’s look back at the best shots from Super Bowl XXXVIII:
Panthers great Julius Peppers, who is in his first year of eligibility for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, headlines the group of 173 Modern-Era nominees.
On Tuesday, the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced 173 Modern-Era nominees for their class of 2024. Among the group are eight former Carolina Panthers players—including some franchise greats and a few all-time greats.
Here are those men:
Ryan Kerrigan, Trent Williams, Chris Cooley and Santana Moss were among Washington’s additions to the “90 greatest” list.
To commemorate 90 years as an NFL franchise, the Washington Commanders named 10 former greats to their “90 greatest” list on Thursday.
Washington announced nine former players and one former coach to the list at the team’s annual Welcome Home Luncheon at the MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill.
The list was trimmed to 10 after the organization began a fan vote in July. Here is the complete list:
Interestingly enough, all but Grant and Peccatiello were with Washington after owner Daniel Snyder bought the team in 1999. However, it’s difficult to dispute any of the players on the list.

Bailey is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, while Williams is still active with the San Francisco 49ers — and one of the NFL’s best offensive tackles.
Former quarterbacks Kirk Cousins and Robert Griffin III were among those on the ballot that didn’t make the final 10.

Every former Auburn Tiger to make it to the biggest stage in professional football.
There is a long history of Auburn Tigers football dating back to the first season in 1892 when they started as an independent. They would join the SIAA in 1895 and the Southern Conference in 1921. The Tigers officially joined the SEC in 1932 as original members of the conference.
Over the years they have sent many of those players to the NFL. Among them, 57 former Auburn Tigers have played in the Super Bowl.
On Sunday night, current Cincinnati Bengals tight end C.J. Uzomah will make it a total of 58 former players to make it to the biggest stage.
There are four former players to play in three or more Super Bowls.
We break down every player to appear in the Super Bowl going all the way back to the very first game between the Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Auburn has had some great running backs throughout its history but only these guys have had the best single-game performances for the Tigers
Auburn has a legacy for having amazing running backs. Just look at the names: Bo Jackson, Stephen Davis, Joe Cribbs and so many more.
Saying that, it takes an extremely special game for a running back in a Tigers uniform to get into the top 10 of most rushing yards in a single game in the program’s history. In fact, only seven players can stake their claim to a spot in that exclusive group as one star — I will give you one guess who — has four of the top nine rushing performances of all time.
Yet it might surprise you who is at the top of the list. Here are the top 10 most rushing yards in a single game by an Auburn running back.
