3 Ways Carolina Panthers can win Super Bowl 54

1. McCaffrey picks up where he left off
First off, the photos circling social media this offseason of Christian McCaffrey to show how much the running back has bulked up should have Panthers fans beyond excited over what the running back’s third NFL season has in store.
Two years ago, Carolina felt confident enough that McCaffrey had been perfect running back to help build the offense around after making the decision to use a high first-round pick on the former Stanford star.
As a rookie, there were certainly times in which McCaffrey stood out, and showed a ton of potential, but this didn’t compare to what his sophomore campaign consisted of.
Fantasy football owners with McCaffrey on their rosters last season most likely went on to win their league championship after the Panthers running back finished the year with 1,965 yards from the line of scrimmage to go along with 19 touchdowns.
Topping these numbers or even coming close will be a difficult challenge for McCaffrey, but also isn’t this part of the reason behind Carolina’s decision in 2017 to bring him on board?
The Panthers never would have selected McCaffrey when they did if the confidence wasn’t there over him being a consistent weapon on offense, so here’s to hoping that Carolina sees another big year from their beloved running back.
