The Panthers’ ideal complement to Christian McCaffrey might surprise you

You won’t find running backs like Christian McCaffrey in bulk at Costco. He’s a rarity at every level he’s played on.

Twenty-six running backs since 2000 finished their collegiate careers with 3,000 career rushing yards and 1,000 career receiving yards — none had more scrimmage yards in fewer games than McCaffrey. He’s one of six running backs since 1999 with 1,000 rushing and receiving yards in his first two NFL seasons — joining Edgerrin James, Reggie Bush, Le’Veon Bell, David Johnson and Alvin Kamara.

Especially after his breakout 2018 season, McCaffrey is a Ferrari among Dodge Chargers.
