8. Carolina Panthers

87. This is the last thing the NFC would want to have happen. Cam Newton is dangerous enough as a passer and runner in this league. Giving him a consistent running game helped the Carolina Panthers go 15-1 in 2015. Jonathan Stewart though is getting up there in age and still has lingering injury problems. In order to keep this offense running at peak efficiency, the Panthers need to feed the ground attack with able bodies. <p>There is none better in the 2017 draft class than Leonard Fournette. Many view him as the best running back to come out of college since Adrian Peterson. A big guy (6’1″, 236 lbs) who has home run speed. Give him any sort of crease, he’ll find it. Get him to the second level and he has the strength and toughness to shed tacklers for big gains. Pairing him with Newton in the same backfield for 16 games a year? That is just downright unfair.</p>. RB. LSU. Leonard Fournette . 8. player
