Left with just five minutes in their attempt at clawing back into Week 1’s game, Carolina, wisely, put the ball into the possession of one of their most trusted Panthers. Having already solidified himself as one of the NFL’s under-the-radar stars after his 293-touch, 1,366-yard breakout in 2024, Chuba Hubbard introduced himself to 2025’s season in style, simultaneously catching a pass and breaking free of Jacksonville’s tackle attempt for a 27-yard touchdown. Hubbard’s score merely made the scoreboard more respectable, but even in the 26-10 loss to the Jaguars, he stood as one of the bright spots on Sept. 7, 2025 through his 19-touch, 89-yard, one-score effort.
