"Keep Pounding" became a team mantra in honor of late Carolina Panthers player and coach Sam Mills, who used the phrase prior to a Panthers' playoff game versus the Dallas Cowboys on Jan. 2, 2004.

The honorary drummer rallies the crowd during Panthers home games. Curry was a guest drummer earlier this season, banging the drum prior to a Sept. 20 win over the Houston Texans.
