The Panthers (13-0) have gone from being the joke of the NFC South last December with a 3-8-1 record to darlings of the league in a little more than a year. They’ve won 17 straight regular season games since--tied for the fourth-longest streak in NFL history--and have become Super Bowl favorites with a chance to join the 1972 Miami Dolphins as the only undefeated champions.

He's fresh off back-to-back 1,100-yard seasons as one of Drew Brees' favorite targets in the pass-friendly Saints offense. Now, following his trade from New Orleans to New England last week, those prospects could reach a new level as he prepares to catch passes from another surefire Hall of Famer, quarterback Tom Brady.
