Jonathan Stewart will enter the season as the Panthers’ undisputed featured running back for the first time in eight years.
And the 28-year-old is anxious to make the most of the opportunity.
When Carolina released its all-time leading rusher DeAngelo Williams in March in a salary cap move, it paved the way for Stewart to step in and become the team’s No. 1 back. The 5-foot-10, 228-pounder who combines shiftiness and power says it won’t change his approach.
