The Panthers selected Georgia RB Trevor Etienne in Round 4 of the 2025 NFL Draft. Brother of Jags RB Travis Etienne, Trevor flashed star ability at Florida but could never win the starting job. Across 2022-2023, he totaled 1,472 rushing yards and 14 TDs, topping out at 131 carries. He transferred to Georgia for 2024 but played second fiddle to highly touted true freshman Nate Frazier. So, despite excellent short-area footwork, sharp cutting ability, and a developed receiving skill set, Etienne’s college profile is subpar. On the positive side: He aced the pre-draft process, starting with a great Senior Bowl week. He also tested well at the NFL Combine, posting an 88th percentile forty-yard dash and an 82nd percentile broad jump at nearly 5'9, 198 pounds.
The Panthers return Chuba Hubbard and Jonathon Brooks, although Brooks is a candidate to miss most (if not all) of 2025. Carolina also added Rico Dowdle in free agency.
So there’s not much of a role for Etienne to capture this fall, although he could push for some third-down/change-of-pace snaps. Hubbard managed just 4.0 yards per catch and 0.51 yards per route run in 2024.
Etienne's value will be influenced by the health of Brooks, who retore his left ACL in December. Note that the Panthers recently signed Hubbard to an extension through the 2028 season.
