Wide receiver Chris Hogan was given the nickname “7-eleven” at Miami Dolphins training camp in 2012 by his teammate at the time, running back Reggie Bush.
Why “7-eleven”? Because he was always open.
Signed Friday by Carolina to a one-year deal, Hogan wants to show he’s “open” in a different way, too — open to any type of receiving position offensive coordinator Norv Turner has in mind, that is.
“(D.J. Moore, Christian McCaffrey and Cam Newton), those three guys are a bunch of playmakers,” he said.
