Sam Mills went from obscurity to being one of the best linebackers to play the game. A 4-time Pro Bowler and member of the famed “Dome Patrol” Linebacking corps of the New Orleans Saints played 9 seasons for the Saints and 3 for the Carolina Panthers, making the Pro Bowl as a Panther as well.
Here is a portrait of Sam Mills compliments of New Orleans Artist Bob Graham.
