Second ACL injury Dec 2024 week 14; drafted round 2; zero career snaps; Dave Canales connection; no offseason RB acquisitions by Panthers; ADP ~8th round

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Rookie RB missed 2024 season (second ACL injury Dec 2024, week 14) after being drafted in round 2 by Panthers. Community deeply divided: bullish case argues he's a first-round talent at 8th-round ADP, Dave Canales pick, team's lack of offseason RB moves signals confidence, and comparable to Jeanty/Love prospect level; bearish case emphasizes he's effectively a rookie with zero NFL production, two knee injuries, and Hubbard is proven 1000-yard back. Some cite Christian Watson ACL recovery (9 months) as precedent; others argue Watson had prior NFL success. Consensus: high-risk, high-reward swing; health is primary obstacle, not Hubbard.
