Carolina Panthers linebacker Frankie Luvu just might be the most electrifying man in all of Charlotte, N.C.!
Following last Sunday’s triumphant victory, one in which he laid the smackdown on the visiting New Orleans Saints, Luvu shouted out The “People’s Champion,” Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The fifth-year defender told reporters he’d celebrate the win with the only thing sweeter than pie—Teremana Reposado Tequila.

Well, The Rock definitely smelled what Luvu was cookin’ in Week 3. Because in turn, Johnson acknowledged his fellow Uce and sent the Carolina backer some of that smooth stuff.
Appreciate the package Uso!! @TheRock @Teremana

Luvu, as Johnson noted, has proudly and loudly repped his American Samoan heritage throughout his football career. As Darin Gantt of Panthers.com reported back during the summer, he’s broken down the defense during practices with his traditional Siva Tau chant.
(Heck, safety Jeremy Chinn even described the chant as “electrifying.” See! Told ya.)
Up to this point in his Panthers career, Luvu has proved to be a jabroni-tacklin’, quarterback-sackin’, field-blazin’, eyebrow-raisin’ presence on this team. So there’s no doubt, especially after this gift from “The Great One” himself, that he just brings it.
