I evaluated them purely in terms of yards gained from scrimmage, who the best Rookie PR/KR is another discussion

  1. 2008 R1 Jonathan Stewart RB Oregon 5'10'' 235/ 184 rush / 836 yards / 4.6 ypc / 8 receptions / 47 yards / 883 yfs ///10 total TDs
  2. 2017 R1 Christian McCaffrey RB Stanford 5'11'' 205 lbs / 111 rush / 421 yards / 3.8 ypc / 75 receptions / 611 yards / 1032 yfs /// 7 Total TDs 
  3. 2006 R1 Deangelo Williams RB Memphis  5'9'' 210 lbs / 121 rush / 501 yards / 4.1 ypc / 33 receptions / 313 yards / 814 yfs /// 2 Total TDs 
  4. 2002 R2 DeShaun Foster RB UCLA  6'0'' 222 lbs / 113 rush / 429 yards / 3.8 ypc / 26 receptions / 207 yards / 636 yfs ///2 total TDs
  5. 2001 R6 Dee Brown RB Syracuse 5'10'' 209 lbs / 102 rush / 306 yards / 3.5 ypc  / 17 receptions / 86 yards / 446 yfs /// 5 total TDs
  6. 2015 R5 Cameron Artis-Payne RB Auburn 5'10'' 212 lbs / 45 rush / 183 yards / 4.1 ypc / 5 receptions / 58 yards / 241 yfs /// 1 TD
  7. 1996 R1 P8 Tshimanga Biakabutuka  RB Michigan 6'0'' 215 lbs 71 rush / 229 yards / 3.2 ypc /0 TD / 229 yfs /// 0 Total TDs 
  8. 2009  R4 Mike Goodson RB Texas A&M 5'11''  195 lbs / 22 rush / 49 yards / 2.2 ypc / 2 receptions /15 yards /64 yfs ///0 total TDs 
  9. 1996 R3 Winslow Oliver RB New Mexico  5'7'' 180 lbs / 47 rush / 183 yards / 3.9 ypc   // 15 receptions / 44 yards /// 0 Total TDs 
  10. 2005 R2 Eric Shelton RB Louisville 6'1'' 246 lbs / 8 rush / 23 yards / 2.9 ypc / 1 reception / 6 yards / 29 yfs / 0 total TDs
  11. 2013 R6 Kenjon Barner RB Oregon 5'9'' 196 lbs / 6 rush / 7 yards / 1.2 ypc / 2 receptions / 7 yards / 14 yfs /// 0 total TDs
  12. 1996 R5 Marquette Smith RB Central Florda   (Cant find any stats on this dude) 
  13. 2014 R6 Tyler Gaffney RB Stanford 6'0'' 220 lbs (No stats) 

Among Carolina Panthers Rookie RBs McCaffrey has 

  • Most total yards from scrimmage 
  • Most receptions 
  • Most receiving yards 
  • 2nd most total touchdowns 
  • 4th most rushing yards

Just interesting facts in general 

  • We've only drafted 4 RBs in the 1st round in the franchises 23 seasons (and 2 of them still play on the team)
  • Jstew is the 2nd heaviest Rookie RB we've had 
  • Cmac is the 4th lightest rookie RB we've had

Ive only been a serious Panther fan since the start of the 2010 season . So how would you rank the top 5?

Stewart has alot more rushing yards in his rookie season , but then again he had quite a few more caries the CMC had . 

CMC is going to end up with very close the same amount of carries that Dwill had his rookie season, but way more receptions 

CMC has the 2nd most total touches for a Panther rookie RB and should finish with the #1 most touches  (#1 Stew 192 , #2 CMC 186   , #3 Dwill 154, #4 D.Foster 139

I get what you're trying to do, but some of these comparisons to legendary RB's using total yards are rather absurd.

You're comparing a rookie RB who has considerably more receiving yards than he does rushing yards and comparing that to RB's who had a ton of rushing yards and just going "LOOK AT THIS".

CMC is in good position to pave his own way if he can continue to be such a threat in the receiving game especially considering his route running ability and how good his hands are. But comparing him to elite traditional running backs like this just for name recognition is excessive.

I don't see why not , I think it's interesting to compare rookie RB in general . Never said he was on their level it's just a stat comparison for curosity sake and I thought other might be interested

IMHO if they give him lead back carries he could get 2000 yds yearly

Interesting how close the rushing is between McC and DeAngelo. I still think McC can have an impact in the run game similar to our better than DeAngelo in his prime. Plus the threat as a receiver. Way too early to grade the pick but definitely extremely promising and exciting for us to have Christian.

For a comparison to some legendary RBs rookie season total yfs and total TDs 

  • Erick Dickerson 441 touches 2212 yfs / 20 total TDs (good fuging lord!) 
  • Marshall Faulk 366 touches / 1804 yfs / 12 total TDs 
  •  CMC 186 touches 1032 yfs/ 7 total TDs 
  • Tiki Barber 170 touches / 810 yfs / 4 total TDs (also had exact same 3.8 ypc) (very similar amount of touches)(CMCs NFL.com draft profile comparison player)
  • Alvin Kamara 185 touches / 1426 yfs / 12 total TDs (Probably the most comparable currently  in terms of how hes used in an offense ) (virtually same amount of touches)

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
