===Keep Pounding Drum===
Starting with the 2012 season, the Panthers introduced the Keep Pounding Drum, inspired by the aforementioned motivational speech by Sam Mills before the team's 2004 playoff game against the Cowboys.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/02/what-does-keep-pounding-mean-carolina-panthers-super-bowl-50 |title=How 'Keep Pounding' became the Panthers' inspirational team motto |first=Nick |last=Schwartz |newspaper=[[USA Today]] |date=February 1, 2016 |access-date=February 9, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160208082118/http://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/02/what-does-keep-pounding-mean-carolina-panthers-super-bowl-50 |archive-date=February 8, 2016 |url-status=live  }}</ref> Prior to each home game, an honorary drummer hits the six-foot-tall drum four times to signify the four quarters of an American football game. According to the team, the drummers "come from a variety of backgrounds and occupations, but all have overcome a great trial or adversity that has not only made them strong but also pushes them to make others around them stronger". Drummers have included current and former Panthers players, military veterans, [[Make-A-Wish Foundation|Make-A-Wish]] children, and athletes from other sports, including [[NBA Most Valuable Player|NBA MVP]] and Charlotte native [[Stephen Curry]], [[United States women's national soccer team|US women's national soccer team]] players [[Whitney Engen]] and [[Heather O'Reilly]], and 7 time [[NASCAR]] [[NASCAR Cup Series|Cup Series]] champion [[Jimmie Johnson]].<ref name="Keep Pounding">{{cite web|title=Keep Pounding|url=https://www.panthers.com/community/keeppounding|publisher=NFL Enterprises, LLC|website=Panthers.com|access-date=September 24, 2020|archive-date=March 8, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210308134840/https://www.panthers.com/community/keeppounding|url-status=live}}</ref>
