The Panthers selected Artis-Payne out of Auburn with a fifth-round pick in the 2015 draft. The NFC champions did not feature him often in the offense, and he finished with 45 carries for 183 rushing yards and a touchdown in his rookie campaign.
He added three carries for seven yards in the postseason on the way to a loss in Super Bowl 50.
While Artis-Payne took a back seat for the Panthers behind a dynamic rushing attack that utilized quarterback Cam Newton and running back Jonathan Stewart, he was a superstar at Auburn. He tallied 1,608 rushing yards in his final season with the Tigers, which Brandon Marcello of SEC Country noted was the third-most in school history.
Artis-Payne recently told Evan McCullers of 247Sports he thought he would have an "expanded role" in the Panthers offense in his second season.
