CHARLOTTE — Even if Jeremy Chinn was small for a linebacker last year, he found someone smaller still to kick off a season-long tribute to his new community.
Chinn said during an appearance on NFL Network’s Good Morning Football that he planned to wear a different jersey of a Carolinas sports legend to each home game this year, and will eventually get it signed by that athlete and then auction it off to benefit their charity.
He’s starting the process Saturday with one of the biggest names in Charlotte sports history, if not the biggest person, by wearing a Muggsy Bogues jersey.
Bogues, the 5-foot-3 point guard who became a darling of the city during the early Hornets years and later as the coach of the WNBA’s Charlotte Sting and a star of the movie Juwanna Mann (OK so maybe not that last one), was an easy choice for Chinn.
“He’s so legendary to the Carolinas and specifically Charlotte having played in the city for ten years and coaching as well,” Chinn said. “I figured it would be a great place to start.”
