The Carolina Panthers did not manage to select a running back to put behind All-Pro Christian McCaffrey in the 2020 NFL Draft. However, they did manage to pick up a notable addition in the form of Minnesota standout Rodney Smith.
The undrafted free agent represents an intriguing addition to the Panthers offense. Providing he impresses during training camp, there is plenty of hope Smith can not only become a member of the 53-man roster. But also become the short-yardage back that Carolina desperately needs.
McCaffrey recently became the highest-paid running back in NFL history by agreeing to a four-year extension worth $64 million.
