CHARLOTTE — Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble knew that when he was growing up outside Atlanta, there was some famous dude who lived in his neighborhood.
But considering the Braves' last World Series win happened five years before he was born, Tremble can probably be excused for not knowing all the players on that roster, even the ones in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
"What was his name, Glavine I think?" he replied when asked if he had a favorite baseball player.
Yes, Tom Glavine was pretty good at pitching, and Tremble is excited to see his hometown baseball team playing for another title. He actually bought tickets for Saturday night's Game 4, but is passing them off to family since he'll be busy getting ready for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Tremble said he played baseball when he was a kid, but started concentrating on football in middle school. He said growing up, he had a Michael Vick jersey, and later "when I was also little" a Matt Ryan model.
Asked if he'd swap jerseys with the 36-year-old quarterback, he replied: "If he'd take my jersey, I'd 100 percent take his."
Even though he grew up 25 minutes away, Tremble said he hasn't been inside Mercedes Benz Stadium since it opened in 2017 to replace the Georgia Dome.
"I'm excited to go there and try to show out," he said.
The rookie tight end has made some timely plays this year, and credited his teammates and coaches with helping him learn on the fly how to play a bigger role.
"There's a lot, especially with the tight end position and the position I'm in; it's a lot to try to absorb," Tremble said. "I think the way my coach and teammates help me detail out, it helps me a lot. They really want me to be successful here, and I really feel like they're helping me prepare that way."
