As reported by Charlotte’s WBTV (full video link here), Davis spent the day hanging out with 7-year-old Johnathan from Charlotte, who has Autism. In a heartwarming moment, Johnathan listed Davis as his hero on the Panthers, after saying that Jesus was his hero first and foremost.
After hearing that Johnathan’s dream was to spend a day at Davis’ house, the former Georgia Bulldog obliged. He surprised Jonathan at his school, where he gave him a jersey and let the auditorium in a chant.
From there, the pair enjoyed a day of activities that included a tour of the Panthers’ facility and palling around at Davis’ multi-million dollar home where they shot hoops and played games.
