When the Carolina Panthers selected Devin Funchess in the second-round of the 2015 NFL Draft, he joined first-round pick Kelvin Benjamin from a year prior. The two were brought to Carolina by former general manager Dave Gettleman as he attempted to construct a power offense, relying on the run and big-bodied receivers who could create matchup issues inside the red zone.
A thoughtful philosophy but one that didn’t pan out when Gettleman was relieved of his duties prior to training camp last year and replaced by Marty Hurney, who is now serving his second stint in the same position.
