It is clear for all to see that the Carolina Panthers are going to be heavily reliant on All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey in 2020. The dual-threat player penned a new deal with the franchise this offseason that ties him to the organization until 2025 and makes him the highest-paid at the position in NFL history.
They were unable to add any considerable depth at running back during what proved to be a historic series of defensive picks from the Panthers. While McCaffrey is going to carry the load, it would be prudent for the decision-makers to explore a veteran option that has the ability to take some of the pressure off their prized asset and keep him fresh for as long as possible.
