Christian McCaffrey has often been compared as the offensive version of Luke Kuechly. His love for the game parallels Kuechly's, and his actions show it. McCaffrey has a relentless work ethic that just makes you love the kid.

Christian was unable to practice with the Panthers during OTAs due to a stupid NCAA rule that says players may not participate with their respective professional teams until their school term ends. However, McCaffrey made sure to not use that as an excuse to slack on football for a longer time.

In fact, you could argue he has been putting up as much work as any other Panther. McCaffrey explains just what he did in a recent article:

Quote

McCaffrey told David Newton of ESPN.com that other than going to a Rockies game one night while home in Colorado, his spring vacation has lacked action.

“I figure the guys on my team aren’t doing anything fun, so I’m trying to walk in and stay on their schedule,” McCaffrey said. “I’m trying to put myself as much in a situation as they’re in as possible.”

That’s left McCaffrey to watch practice film and talk on the phone often with running backs coach Jim Skipper, as he tries to stay caught up for his arrival for some portion of this week’s minicamp.

“I won’t be behind as far as the plays go in practice,” McCaffrey said. “Getting acclimated and comfortable with the team, I’ll be a little bit behind. But that will come. . . .

“It’s tough being away from a competitive atmosphere for that long, but I still push myself every day in my training and studies.”

Although Ryan Kalil and Cam Newton's IG do show the Panthers having a blast, it's still nice to see how seriously McCaffrey is taking this opportunity, and how much work he puts into the game. It's going to be nice to see this kid grow and make a name for himself.

Now everyone knows why I was so high on him for months before the draft. He comes from a great football family much like Peyton Manning did and he has the drive and desire of a kids who has lived and breathed football since he was old enough to play. It is literally in his genes......

Witness if you will, the 2035 Carolina Panthers coaching staff.  HC Luke Kuechly and OC Christian McCafferey, two of the most highly decorated players in NFL history trying to return their beloved franchise to the glory days when the Panthers won 3 Super Bowls in a row and 5 world titles in 7 years.  With Chosen Newton as the heir apparent at QB, the future looks bright...

All kidding aside, we all know down deep this kid is going to change everything.  He is the key...the Trinity is complete.

      I'm Sold on Drew Allar

      I find it more like now that I have been forced to watch Young so much it isn’t as much of a shock to my senses.   Desensitized they call it.   For real, it just looks normal almost now. Where the first game of 2023 I wasn’t sure what I was looking at it was so out of bounds for NFL type play. I literally couldn’t make sense of what I had seen vs Atlanta that first week.

      Dan Morgan is an awful GM

      Lynch in SF. Great is subjective but he has done pretty well there.

      CJ Stroud

      Sure, except Stroud has the ability to stretch the field with deep passes. He did that often last night with ease, but couldn’t connect on many due to being flustered by the defense. BY9 gets flustered and can’t throw screens, let alone even think about any deeper passes. Stroud would’ve changed the franchise and done more with the situation last year. My thought at least.    the hope is that last year showed tepper that he needed to step back from football decisions. There’s a positive in most situations and maybe we’ll see a new tepper in the near future.
