Carolina Panthers' Robby Anderson Spills The Tea on His Teammates

Well, how's it going?

Good, how you doing?

Okay, well today's your day off, right?

Yeah.

How do you feel about the season so far? How's it playing?

Uh, the season is season, I mean, we got our first win Sunday, so that's a good thing, but all in all, I think it's been going pretty good, you know, um, transitioning with a new team and, you know, just adapting, but I'm definitely enjoying it here.

How is it with, you know, no one hardly in the stands? Is that weird for you?

Yeah, it's, it's, it's real weird, like it really don't even be feel like it's a game for real, like especially when we won on Sunday it was like weird, like, you know, no, um, like, you know, no no, no, no energy or nothing like that. So it was, it's it's been a little weird. I think this Sunday we're gonna have fans, so it'll start probably feel a little bit more normal, but it's literally been feeling like just like practice for real.

Okay, so we want to talk about your game day fits, your outfits that you pick out, everything like that. How is it, how much thought and effort goes into picking out what you wear before the game?

It's it's not really like, it's kind of like not like it's like a little secondhand, or just kind of like what I'm feeling, like, you know, where we're going at, you know, things like that, but not too much, too much thought and effort. It's it's pretty simple.

What do you care most about? Like you care about like new shoes, like the clothing you wear? What do you like to buy the most?

I like to, I don't know, it I I I'm just like if I see something I like, I'm gonna get it. Or something that sometimes I try and buy things that I feel like I'm I'm not gonna want just like to wear one time low-key, like something that I'll like for a while, you know, that's like, you know, kind of exclusive, but like somewhat of like a little vintage piece. I don't like to just buy things that I know I probably really don't like or might not really like for that just gonna end up just collecting dust, you know.

For sure. And over quarantine, were you usually shopping online or were you going?

I was shopping a lot. Like, I filled up my closet like crazy during quarantine, like low-key waiting for like the world to open back up, or like I was really like shopping like, well, if things don't open back up, I'll just, you know, throw this on for the games and whatnot. So, but now I was online shopping crazy.

Mhm. And how do you usually get hyped for your games? Like what's your like game day ritual?

Uh, I mean, I I I I don't really, I'm not really too big on like getting all, like, I'm I'm naturally already like excited and stuff, but I I don't really like extremely like hype or nothing like that. I try and keep it like, you know, calm or whatever so I can keep my focus. You know, I know there's like sometimes like in the past I might have been over-excited and then like the game come and I'm not as focused. So, I just kind of try and keep like a little like a mellow vibe for and just, you know, stay focused on what I gotta do and then, you know, just stick to like my love like like my game day routine and, you know, stick to the basics for real.

And what advice for like players right now that are in college playing, you know, because everyone's affected by the pandemic, what advice would you give to college players right now?

Oh, I think the best advice I I could probably give is um, you know, don't take a day for granted. You know, make everything count. Don't don't don't worry about what the don't worry about the unknown. You know, just control like what you're doing right now, you know, and, you know, get better every day in some type of way. You know, don't feel like if you did something good, that was good enough, or if you did bad that you will never do good again, you know. I think that's the best advice I I, like if I could go back and tell myself, it'll just be, you know, just enjoy this moment. Don't worry about what the future holds you. You know, if you put forth your best now, then only the best can happen for you. You know, just keep it simple, just grind.

That is really good advice. And when you're not playing football, when you're just like like today have a complete day off, or not complete. But what do you usually like to do? Like what will we catch you doing?

Well, I mean, like I'm always like even even on my day off, I still, you know, put in work, like obviously not like practice work, but like today I um, slept in a little bit, got some rest, you know, caught up on some sleep and then went in, ran on like the underwater treadmill. And it excuse me, just had my um, my chiropractor come in. I'm gonna chill now, probably play Madden for a little bit, and then I got a my massage lady coming later, and then chill with my girlfriend later on, but pretty much, you know, keep it simple, nothing too crazy.

We're gonna play the teammate tag if you're down. So, we're gonna read off some things, you're gonna read off what teammate comes to mind. And you can include yourself too. So, you can answer like if it's you.

Okay.

So, which teammate do you text the most?

Um, I don't really, I don't really text my teammates like that. But if I I don't we got like a receiver group chat, so I say like the receivers, but I I'm not we don't really text 'cause we with each other like all day for real. Yeah. you know.

Yeah. Uh, which teammate comes to mind as the funniest one?

Uh, Curtis Samuel.

Which teammate has the most cars?

Most cars, probably probably from what I know, DJ Moore.

Which teammate gets everyone the most hype in the locker room?

Hmm. Who gets everybody the most hype in the locker room? Probably Trey Boston.

Talk a lot.

In a good way.

In a good way. Um, and which teammate has the best playlist?

Hmm, who's got the best playlist? I'd probably say Brian Burns, you know, he from he from Lauderdale, so we got a lot of similar taste in music from Broward County. So, he definitely he definitely probably I say got like real good taste in music. Probably the best, you know, he play the most music too.

Well, thank you so much for talking to us. I appreciate it.
