A few days ago, ESPN’s Mike Clay ranked the running back depth charts of all 32 NFL teams (Insider required), and the Panthers running back committee for 2018 was listed in the middle of the pack. Let’s take a look at what Clay had to say about Carolina’s running game.
16. Carolina Panthers
Projected unit stats: 326 carries, 1,340 yards, 9 TDs; 94 receptions, 809 yards, 4 TDs
Outlook: This backfield has belonged to DeAngelo Williams and/or Jonathan Stewart each of the past 10 seasons, but both are now gone, and the team seems ready to turn it over to McCaffrey, the eighth overall pick in 2017.
