Hubbard is positioned as the trusted early-season back for the Panthers despite being described as 'boring.' The source expects him to be heavily involved through weeks 1–5 or 6–7 because the coaching staff can trust him and give him touches, in contrast to Jonathan Brooks' uncertain role after his second ACL injury and limited NFL experience. The source would be shocked if Brooks steals the job immediately, making Hubbard the safer early-season option.
