Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis will distribute more than $22,750 worth of backpacks filled with school supplies to 650 students at Devonshire Elementary today at 1 p.m. This will be done in conjunction with Davis' Defending Dreams Foundation that led to the 2015 Pro Bowl selection being named the 2014 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year. "Growing up in a single-parent household, I understand what it's like to go to school without basic supplies like paper and pencils," Davis said. "I am blessed to be in a position to give back and help youth succeed both in and out of the classroom."
