Top-rated Panthers overall:
LB Luke Kuechly, 98
TE Greg Olsen, 92
DT Kawann Short, 88
QB Cam Newton, 88
LB Thomas Davis, 87
Analysis: No major surprises here for Carolina's top five. But it must be said how criminally underrated Pro Bowl guard Trai Turner is with a 77 overall. That's ridiculous. Also worth mentioning, running back Christian McCaffrey is one of the top rookies overall with an 81 rating (only Browns defensive end Myles Garrett and Bucs tight end O.J. Howard are rated higher).
Fastest Panthers:
WR Damiere Byrd, 96
WR Curtis Samuel, 95
CB Teddy Williams, 93
S Dezmen Southward, 92
WR Keyarris Garrett, 92
Analysis: McCaffrey probably deserves a spot in the top five for speed. Byrd, Samuel and Williams make sense as the top three. Southward and Garrett are certainly surprises.
Strongest Panther:
DT Star Lotulelei, 96
Analysis: Star is extremely strong and this is well deserved. How about the love for backup center Tyler Larsen? He ranks second on the team with a 93 strength rating.
Most agile Panther:
RB Christian McCaffrey, 96
Analysis: Yup.
Most aware Panther:
TE Greg Olsen, 98
Analysis: Olsen will be proud of this.
Toughest Panthers:
QB Cam Newton, 99
LB Luke Kuechly, 99
LB Thomas Davis, 98
Analysis: Let's be honest, Davis definitely deserves to be a 99 here.
