Dave Canales is running a developmental staff. The Carolina Panthers aim to provide young players with opportunities to flourish. And anyone who proves their worth will be rewarded accordingly.
The Panthers' youth movement has put them on more stable footing entering Canales' second season as head coach. Some will earn roster spots, others will do just enough for places on the practice squad. But for one unfancied first-year pro, getting through camp unscathed will be an achievement.
Carolina made some significant improvements to the running back room this offseason. Chuba Hubbard will lead the charge once again after getting a four-year extension last season.
