Hubbard’s Return or Panthers’ Struggle

The Panthers’ season hinges on Chuba Hubbard’s bounce-back — he’s back as the lead back after Rico Dowdle’s exit, and with Jonathon Brooks joining the mix, the run game’s future looks brighter. But Hubbard’s 2025 slump — ranking near the bottom in efficiency after being elite in 2024 — is a major concern. If he doesn’t step up, the offense struggles, Bryce Young gets overworked, and the defense takes the brunt. Health and consistency are non-negotiable for Carolina’s hopes this year.
