He is perhaps an overlooked weapon in the Carolina Panthers offense. Wide receiver Jarius Wright, brought over from the Minnesota Vikings this offseason, was supposed to be another key weapon for Cam Newton to throw to. Instead, he appears to be on the outside looking in.
On the season, he has 21 catches for 192 yards and a touchdown. If there is one upside about the statistics, it is that he is averaging 9.1 yards per catch. With receivers aplenty in the Panther offense, he has struggled to find playing time. Especially when playing behind Devin Funchess, snaps are even harder to come by.
