Peel back the curtain on some of the most notable moments of this young Carolina Panthers season, and there’s a constant:

Cam Newton’s first touchdown run of the season. Damontae Kazee’s vicious hit on Newton as he slid to the ground. C.J. Anderson’s drop-turned-interception in Atlanta. D.J. Moore’s first-ever reception, a 51-yard bomb in a comeback bid against the Falcons. And of course, Christian McCaffrey’s 45-yard run against Cincinnati that epitomized his career-best game.

All huge, consequential plays ... and absolutely no mention of the man linked to them all.

Wide receiver Jarius Wright.
