Christian McCaffrey
Panthers All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey is known for the amount of care he puts into his body. Before the 2020 season, he had never missed a game in his football career.
But in 2020, he missed all but three games because of shoulder, ankle and groin injuries.
McCaffrey has since recovered and is hoping to have a healthier season in 2021.
