ESPN Report The Fant was working with Granger to prepare for the transition, and he was the one who told the Panthers about his potential.
However, Granger has never been on the soccer field since eighth grade, so the transition is not expected to be easy.
But of course, this is nothing new, especially in the tight end position. Think Antonio Gates, Jimmy Graham, and The Great Tony Gonzalez.
