Two National champions from the 2017 UNC men's basketball team will be the honorary drummers at Sunday's Carolina Panthers game.

Returning players Luke Maye and Joel Berry will do the honors of hitting the 'Keep Pounding' drum before the game. Since 2012, the Panthers have had an honorary drummer pound the drum four times before each game for each of the four quarters.
