The Carolina Panthers need wide receiver Curtis Samuel to have a breakout season in 2019 in order to fully unlock the passing game (assuming, of course, both Cam Newton and Greg Olsen are healthy).
The reason the Panthers need Samuel to “make the leap” is because of the interesting way the wide receiving corps is currently constructed. D.J. Moore is clearly positioned to be the top threat and has the potential to be a very good player. There is then a cluster of four receivers who are cut from a very similar cloth in Jarius Wright, Chris Hogan, Aldrick Robinson, and Torrey Smith.
