7-Eleven

[top dawg]

That's Chris Hogan's nickname. Cam is going to have to roll with that one. It doesn't get any better.

"The Carolina Panthers signed one of the NFL’s most unique receivers in Chris Hogan, whose nickname describes his game perfectly. He was given the nickname “7-11” by former teammate Reggie Bush because of his uncanny ability to get open."

Thanks to @Steves89 for hipping us to Hogan's ability to separate, and Bush was obviously spot-on with Hogan's new moniker.

I've heard a small amount of perceived negativity about Hogan, but Pantherswire not only reminded me of the AFC Championship game the season before last (Remember?), where Hogan went for a buck 80, but the writer correctly dispels something I heard here about  Hogan having drops.

"Hogan’s routes, hands and deep ball ability should make him an excellent addition to Carolina’s wide receiver corps."

Honestly, it appears to be a pleasantly solid signing. I don't know what happen to Hogan and Brady's connection this season (other than Edelman and Gronk), but Hogan looks like he could be a great value. This signing may just be better than any signing last year, because we really don't have anything to lose and at least make an appreciable gain (no matter how small or big).

Not sure but i think it was Chad Johnson and T.J. joking around with nick names it was 7-eleven and another store that was always open but yea this really isnt new

"hey they call me 7-Eleven cause  im always open"

When were Hogan and Bush teammates?

Think of it this way---He is an upgrade over Funchess and he just signed for slightly above the vet min.  Funchess will bring his skill set to Indy for $10m next season.

They call Hogan 7-11 because he is always open, then they should call Funchess VERIZON because he leads the league in dropped c/balls.

Pretty sure it was a Pro Bowl. I saw the footage and they were in some rando uniforms. Or maybe some other dumb event.

Not sure I would want 7-11 as my nickname... WaWa is putting a hurting on them at least where I live. Three of them have closed within a 10 mile radius of my house.
