From the episode

playing behind Chuba Hubbard, but I think folks have forgotten generally about Jonathan Brooks...who didn't ultimately end up being the RB1 on his team last year. That wound up being Rico Dowdle.

Hubbard may share carries with Brooks; not the clear Panthers RB1.

Chuba Hubbard is the listed back for the Panthers but did not end up being the team's RB1 last year (Rico Dowdle was); the source suggests the Panthers may split carries between Hubbard and Jonathan Brooks in 2026.
