The Panthers decided that running back Jonathan Stewart was just too good to pass up so they picked him in the first round.  The Panthers wanted a tough running back to either share time with DeAngelo Williams or to replace him as the starter and Stewart definately has the skills to do that as long as he is recovered from a toe injury that cut last season short.  Stewart is 5′10″, 230 pounds and he is a power runner that often moves the pile.  He is also very fast, running a 4.45 40 so he can go the distance if he gets past the front seven on defense.  Stewart played in 36 games (23 starts) at Oregon and he carried the ball 516 times for 2,891 yards (5.6 ypc) with 27 TD runs.  He also caught 49 passes for 334 yards (6.8 avg) with 4 TD grabs.  Stewart also returned some kicks at Oregon and looked good doing it.  It was time for a change at running back and Stewart will be 10 times the back that DeShaun Foster ever was.  This was a great pick for the Panthers.
