His advanced metrics were also quite strong. Hubbard finished third in Next Gen Stats' Rush Yards Over Expected (RYOE) and fourth in Rush Yards Over Expected Per Attempt (RYOE/ATT). He was also PFF’s ninth-highest-graded rusher.

Jonathon Brooks, Carolina’s 2024 second-round pick, re-tore his ACL last December and will miss the entire 2025 season. That means less competition for Hubbard in the Carolina backfield. The team did sign former Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle this offseason. He should have a role on offense. However, he is unlikely to take significant touches away from Hubbard.

The Panthers also signed Hubbard to a contract extension last year and, at the time, made him the sixth-highest-paid back in the league. So, regardless of Dowdle's presence, Hubbard should remain heavily involved in the team’s offense. Trevor Etienne should not be an immediate threat, either.
