Very few centers in the NFL become fan favorites, but Bradley Bozeman is one of them. Not only did he find a lot of success on the field in his first year as the Panthers spear of the o-line in 2022, but he was maybe even more impactful off of it.
He and his wife, Nikki, did so much work in the community and always tried to find a way to help give back to those who are less fortunate. They invested a lot of time in charity work with the Panthers and with their own foundation operating the SYNC Snack program in Charlotte. SYNC Snacks boxes have things like ravioli, Oreos, Pop Tarts, and all other kinds of snacks for kids.
Because of his work in the community, Bozeman was the Panthers' nominee for the 2023 Walter Payton Man of the Year Award.
This past season didn't go as planned for Bozeman or anyone in the organization, but he was a class act every step of the way.
Last week, the Panthers informed him that he would be released as they transition to a new offensive coaching staff. On Saturday, he and Nikki took a moment to thank everyone involved in the Panthers' organization and in the Charlotte community for the last two years.
