Those words are being backed up to help Hurricane Florence victims.

Close to 80 staff members and players spent the beginning of the team's off week packing relief boxes.

That included David Tepper, himself, alongside Cam Newton and Luke Kuechly.

The assembly line style effort produced 1,500 boxes.
