With the build that Michael Jordan possessed, he could’ve easily been mistaken for a football star. The former Bulls superstar was an extremely physical player and demanded more from his teammates all the time. Recently, NFL franchise Carolina Panthers have added guard Michael Jordan to their roster. No, not the Jordan you think; they have signed 23-year-old offensive guard, Michael Jordan.
Chicago Bulls‘ Michael Jordan had starred in the NBA for around two decades before calling it a day. He is a 14-time All-star, and widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time. After retirement, Jordan has been an active entrepreneur and businessman. On the other hand, the young NFL star is only getting off the blocks now. He played 14 games for Cincinnati last season, before being picked up by the Panthers. Yet, fans were left bewildered at the news of the signing.
