And although this is something rare to have. It does leave coordinator Phil Snow is something of a predicament regarding just where the utilize the Southern Illinois product.
The Panthers clearly think a lot of Chinn. They traded back into the second round to snag the prospect during the 2020 NFL Draft. And the rookie has already made his intentions of being a defensive weapon rather than tied down to safety abundantly clear.

This is probably a progressive situation regarding Chinn and one that will change as the campaign progresses. It might be a problem to have. But it is undoubtedly a nice one.
