Why Christian McCaffrey goes into 2021 with a point to prove

Christian McCaffrey has a point to prove in 2021, which is great news for the Carolina Panthers.

The Carolina Panthers managed to win five games during the 2020 season without their best offensive weapon for the most part. Christian McCaffrey suffered a series of unfortunate injuries that restricted him to three contests, which was the worst possible timing for both the running back and the organization.

There were plenty of eyebrows raised when the Panthers gave McCaffrey a four-year, $64 million deal with a $21 million signing bonus and $38 million guaranteed before competitive action got underway.
