Carolina Panthers' GM Dan Morgan discussed the signing of basketball player Colin Granger, who joined the team with no prior football experience. Morgan stated the move aimed to fill the 90-man roster and explore new opportunities. Granger, a 6-foot-9, 235-pound tight end, transitioned from collegiate basketball, recommended by former Seahawk George Fant.
Granger's signing marked his first venture into football after a five-year basketball career at various universities. The Panthers finalized the deal following a successful workout and recommendation from Fant, who similarly transitioned from basketball to football. The team hopes Granger, like Fant, can excel in his new football journey, as he embarks on this unexpected career shift.
