Panthers WR Devin Funchess follows David Tepper’s lead, assists PETA in ad campaign

When the Carolina Panthers first drafted Devin Funchess in 2015, a Detroit native who attended nearby Michigan, the receiver knew he’d want company getting adjusted to his new home.

Enter Chapo.

Chapo, a pitbull, has been Funchess’ companion ever since.

“My cousin gave him to me as a present, to give me somebody to chill with,” Funchess told the Observer Tuesday. “Me and him stay chilling, all we do is chill, relax, take walks. He’s a cool little dude, and doesn’t cause me too much trouble.”
