Everyone who knew DB knows he had a smile so big and an even bigger heart. My family and I truly appreciate everyone who has been reaching out.
But I’m going to be honest, we’re not okay. And this journey is just beginning. Mental health is real. Please understand it’s okay to talk to someone. 💯❤️”

In 2022, he suffered a torn ACL before the team went on to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles at Super Bowl LVII, yet Wharton got his chanceto play in football’s biggest game when they toppled the San Francisco 49ers at Super Bowl LVIII to win a second straight championship the following year.
After being re-signed to a one-year, $2.742million extension in 2024, he signed a three-year deal worth $45m with the Panthers when that contract came to an end.
Wharton made nine appearances for Carolina last season as the team went 8-9 before losing in the Wild Card round of the playoffs to the Los Angeles Rams.
