C.J. Anderson was signed by the Panthers back in May 2018. He was later released the following November because of his limited production with the team at the time. Panthers fans entered the season expecting Anderson and NFL all-pro running back Christian McCaffrey to be a “one-two punch” in the Panthers running game. However, that didn’t really occur thanks to McCaffrey’s emergence as the Panthers’ feature back.
The veteran running back rushed for 104 yards and one touchdown on 24 total carries in nine weeks with the Panthers before he was released.
