Carolina Panthers 2017 season review: Running backs
The 2017 iteration of the Carolina Panthers finished fourth in the NFL in total rushing yards and tied for seventh in rushing touchdowns. That was due, in large part, to Cam Newton’s success on the ground, but let’s take a look back at how the actual running backs fared.
The elder statesman of the group led the team in carries with 198, despite missing some time due to injuries. While Stewart found heavy resistance on the ground, only compiling 3.4 yards per carry, he was still able to tie the team lead for rushing touchdowns with six. The good news is Stewart was able to be more productive as the season went on, which will hopefully carry over into 2018 (assuming he is still with the team).
