Panther asked to get S.C. healthy Davis to promote diet, exercise in home state Associated Press COLUMBIA, S.C. - Gov. Mark Sanford has called on Carolina Panthers running back Stephen Davis to help get South Carolinians healthy. On Friday, Sanford named the South Carolina native physical fitness ambassador to promote the importance of a better diet and exercise. The governor said he wants people to know a healthy lifestyle can help cut health care costs. "Stephen's willingness to do this is a huge boost to our efforts to get South Carolinians to be just a bit more active," Sanford said. Davis, 30, who helped lead the Panthers to the Super Bowl in February, also will join the Sanford on the first day of the governor's three-day bike ride across the state next month. "I've received a number of honors on the football field but to have the governor of my home state ask me to help him lead this effort ranks right up there with any of them," Davis said.
