The Panthers' starting running back, Jonathan Stewart, is 30 years old and has missed three games in each of the past three seasons.
Eagles former linebacker and 94WIP radio host Ike Reese jumped on the McCaffrey train early, but isn't panicking if McCaffrey does go before the Birds pick at 14 overall.
If true, this won't ruin the draft for me! Eagles are still sitting in a good spot to get a really good player at 14 & 43. #TrustTheProcess https://t.co/4oFiHphvev
