Eagles player baptized in Charlotte hotel pool during Super Bowl season | The Herald

As memories go, being part of an NFL team that won the Super Bowl is hard to beat.

But for Marcus D. Johnson, a wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles, what happened in Charlotte this season is also a contender for topping his list.

No, it wasn't the Eagles' defeat of the Panthers on a Thursday night last October, though Johnson did contribute to his team's 28-23 victory at Bank of America Stadium by catching a pass during the game.

The big moment for Johnson, a committed Christian, came the night before, Oct. 11, when he was baptized in a pool at a Charlotte hotel.
