I do think there is some real organizational desire to see Jonathan Brooks as a starting running back for the Carolina Panthers...how many times has a guy torn the ACL twice, never played, and then consistently been a part of what the team is planning on doing? It's very rare.

Rare organizational commitment to Brooks as lead back despite ACL history

Carolina Panthers organization shows real desire to make him the lead running back despite two ACL tears and never having played; he only needs to outperform Chuba Hubbard. The team's commitment is rare—most players in his situation would have been waived. Ranked back-to-back with Marshon Lloyd; both from the same draft class with the same issue of not staying on the field, but Brooks does not have the same obstacles as Lloyd.
