Artis-Payne finished his rookie campaign with 45 carries for 183 yards and one touchdown in seven regular season games played.
Artis-Payne also hauled in five passes for 58 yards this season. The rookie fifth-rounder was often inactive during the early portion of the campaign, but saw his involvement increase after starter Jonathan Stewart was sidelined in the regular season's final weeks. In fact, Artis-Payne topped the 40-yard mark in each of the Panthers' last three games, and scored a touchdown in Week 17. In a rush-heavy offense, Artis-Payne's stock should improve heading into his second season, but having the likes of Stewart, Fozzy Whittaker, Mike Tolbert and quarterback Cam Newton around make touches somewhat hard to come by.
