CHARLOTTE, Nc. — Former University of Georgia linebacker Thomas Davis broke his arm in the Carolina Panthers' win against Arizona in the NFC Championship on Jan. 24.
That means Davis was playing in the Super Bowl just 13 days after he broke his arm and had a metal plate put in it.
Following the game, Davis posted a photo of his repaired arm to his Instagram account.
"This post is not about me, or how tough I am," Davis posted. "It's not to shine any light on me or my injuries. Our team doctors and trainers did an amazing job giving me an opportunity to get back on the field. This post is strictly to show how much love I have for my brothers and #PantherNation. Thank you all for your support and we will #KeepPounding."
