The Panthers are expected to move Jeremy Chinn to safety for the 2021 season, according to multiple reports. Matt Rhule all but confirmed it during his post-practice comments yesterday.
“Obviously he would be a big safety, and he would be able to cover tight ends,” Panthers coach Matt Rhule said, via Steve Reed of the Associated Press. “He can go fit the run, too. It’s rare to have a guy that big, with that size and that intelligence level. He’s one of those guys that can fill a lot of different roles for us.”
Chinn played linebacker during his standout rookie season last year, but at 220 pounds he is on the small side for the position.
