Earlier this month, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Torrey Smith went to church with complete strangers.
He wondered on Twitter whether he could join someone in Charlotte, his new city, at church. The following Sunday, he did just that, tagging along with a young man and his family for worship.
Smith's arrival in Charlotte in March was about football. A trade brought him here, a product of the Panthers' need at wide receiver and their hesitancy to enter the inflated free agency market at the position.
But because of who Smith is, that arrival can impact the city and the Carolinas in a way that transcends football.
