"It would mean a lot to add him," Chambers said in a telephone interview. "This guy can stretch the field and make big plays, which would really help us on offense. I would do whatever I can to help out and get him ready to play as soon as possible." ...

Why does Chambers have such a personal interest in Ginn? Besides the boost he would provide a receiving corps in need of more speed, Chambers has known Ginn since the latter was in elementary school. Ginn's father Ted was a mentor to Chambers as one of his high school coaches while he was growing up in the Cleveland area.

"Chris is like a big brother throughout my life," Ginn said at the NFL Scouting Combine. "He went to Glenville [High] for a couple years and actually stayed down the street from me for a couple years and spent the night here and there."
