Steve Smith is finally back in the fold thanks to the efforts of Panthers owner David Tepper.
Last night at Fan Fest, the most popular player in franchise history got a standing ovation from the crowd at Bank of America Stadium.

On the broadcast Smith got emotional during the ovation, admitting that he had chills on-air, but also had an instinct to suplex somebody.
“I think they just realized I’m here. . . Actually gave me a little chill. Look at that. I got a little chill. I may go out there and suplex somebody. Just for one play, though.”
Never change, 89.
