When you really stop and think about what the positional needs are for the Carolina Panthers heading into the 2019 NFL draft, running back (on the surface) is not one of them. After all, Christian McCaffrey proved that he could handle a heavy workload. The Stanford product logged 91% of offensive snaps in 2018. However, as we learned at the NFL Combine on Thursday, head coach Ron Rivera wants to ease some of the workload off his star rusher.
It would be nice if the Carolina Panthers could get another running back to complement McCaffrey. After all, who’s to say that his body will hold up in the 2019 campaign?
