RB – Alfred Blue

If the Panthers are looking for another big running back, they might turn to Alfred Blue. The 6-foot-2, 225 pound athlete has surprising agility for his size and could replace Jonathan Stewart on some first down runs up the middle.

Blue offers really no threat as a receiver, but that’s why Carolina has Christian McCaffrey. Blue isn’t the best blocker but he could do a decent job on third-down when McCaffrey lines up as a receiver.

The former Houston Texans back should also come at a decent price point.
