Dillon gives Carolina a different kind of answer: a large, punishing runner who can turn short-yardage snaps into a physical problem. He does not need huge volume to matter in a rotation built around bruising defenses.
Strengths: Power build, 2,428 career rushing yards, short-yardage utility, strong preseason, and initial-53 role.
Weaknesses: 2024 neck injury history and limited 2025 carries; fit is less natural in speed-to-the-edge calls.
