The Panther blue writing on the white and brown football in his locker read, “Mike Remmers, Offensive Player of the Game, Dec. 7, 2014.”

Remmers, who became the Panthers’ right tackle three weeks ago, was part of an entire offensive line that received game balls for its performance in Carolina’s 41-10 rout New Orleans in Week 14. But the ball in the locker was just the first. Remmers picked up another for his effort in last Sunday’s 19-17 win over the Bucs.

From 2012 to late last month, Remmers had played just four NFL snaps. In his three starts since, he’s earned two games balls.

“Every single week has been a dream come true. It’s just such an amazing feeling to be able to go out there and take the field with my teammates,” Remmers said. “It really does feel like a dream, and I’m hoping I don’t wake up. Everything’s been awesome, and I want to keep on winning some games and continue to play into the postseason.”
