As of this writing, Mike Rucker is only one of three Carolina Panthers to record over 50 Quarterback Sacks for the team, which he accomplished over an eight-year career, which was all with the Panthers. The Defensive End was a 1999 2nd Round Pick from the University of Nebraska and would become a starter in his third season. Rucker would have two straight two-digit Sack seasons (2002 & 2003), with the latter seeing named to the Pro Bowl. He would also be named the NFL Alumni Defensive LIneman of the Year that season.
