Carolina Panthers: Elijah Holyfield continues wild ride

In what continues to be a great story, the Carolina Panthers signed running back Elijah Holyfield to the practice squad on Tuesday. This comes after he was cut by the team initially.

Holyfield had an impressive preseason, and showed he could run the ball with efficiency and determination. The Carolina Panthers have needed running back depth to help out Christian McCaffrey, and Holyfield certainly showed that he could be the guy to provide that extra spark.

Following the NFL Draft in April, he was nothing more than an afterthought. The Carolina Panthers signed the undrafted running back out of Georgia, and to be honest I really did not know what to expect from him.
