SPARTANBURG
Ted Ginn showed up at Wofford this summer in a new position – the oldest guy in the Panthers’ wide receiver meeting room.
Ginn, 31, inherited the title of “OG” – short for “original gangster” – from veteran Jerricho Cotchery, the elder statesman among the receivers the past two seasons.
“(Cotchery) had an O-O-O-O-G,” Ginn said, jokingly. “I’ve just got an O.”
With Cotchery’s departure and the return of Kelvin Benjamin from a knee injury, Ginn will assume a more prominent leadership position this season while likely taking on a lesser role in the offense.
