Most NFL fans are chillin' out, maxin' and relaxin' all cool while waiting for training camp to start, but Carolina Panthers followers were treated to a secret message on Twitter to pass the time this week.

The team's account caught the eye of many with the following tweet on Friday.

We won't ruin the surprise for you so quickly: Go ahead and check it out.

...

Piecing together the first word of the 39 tweets over a three-day period leads to the following message:

"This is a story all about how / My life got flipped, turned upside down / And I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there / I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air."

Yes, that is indeed the beginning of the theme song to the popular 1990s TV sitcom "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air."

Kudos to the Panthers' social team for this idea (most notably the use of the bell emoji for the first part of Bel-Air). Uncle Phil would be proud.
