The Carolina Panthers will move forward with Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle as their one-two running back punch to begin the 2025 campaign. However, don't count out another new arrival from making a bigger impact than expected.
Hubbard got a new four-year extension last season in recognition of his exceptional efforts. But everything behind the former fourth-round pick has changed for the better.
Miles Sanders is gone, replaced by Dowdle after his 1,000-yard rushing campaign with the Dallas Cowboys in 2024. Jonathon Brooks went to the physically unable to perform list, ruling him out for the entire 2025 slate with another torn ACL.
