Carolina Panthers offensive tackle Ikem Ekwonu has a well-documented past as an on-stage performer, specifically in musical theater. The 21-year-old hog molly—dating back to his middle and high school days—has picked up credits in classics such as The Jungle Book, The Aristocats and 101 Dalmatians.
Now, his latest work has come under spotlight of training camp, at Wofford College in Spartanburg, S.C.
Following Thursday’s practice, Ekwonu told reporters that his teammates requested a private concert—as a bit of rookie initiation. And according to the artist himself, it was a phenomenal performance.
