Often you hope for a player to stay at your program and play that last year of eligibility. Not this time. It is the right time for Conner to go the NFL and make his coin, and he will make the Panthers proud for ever.
He will always be remembered as one of our greatest players of all time, and the most loved.

Never enjoyed watching another football player more than him after his return.
Godspeed James. If you think this is best then this is best. Best of luck in your next step in life.
Selfishly bummed he is leaving...but he is making the right choice. Hopefully he will get with a great S&C coach who gets him in perfect shape for the combine...and if he falls to the 4th round or later, someone is getting a steal.
He was especially fun to watch in the Clemson game. Ran with a purpose.
Thanks for the memories James. Dream big, play big and most of all love big. You are a shining example of what we as humans can be. You are blessed.
If anyone ever earned the right to leave on their own terms, it is surely James Conner. Some lucky NFL team is going to get an outstanding player and person.

Has that one DB gotten his head re-attached yet after that stiff arm?
Don't be surprised if JC starts as a rookie. I don't think I've ever seen a RB pass protect as well as he does, he can catch, and obviously he's a great runner.
He will get drafted as not just a good player but a good person,he will be an ambassador for whoever is lucky enough to draft him
This is school is losing a true legend. There's never going to be another one like him coming through here. Honored to have watched him in person in 2013 and 2016. Good luck James!!
He has earned and deserves this opportunity. Thanks for being a Panther JC!
Agree early in the year you could tell he wasn't himself. Had he not improved it might have been better for him to come back, But as the season went on you could see he got faster. If he is back to where he was before the injury and cancer no reason to stay another year. Wish him the best.
What is interesting is how the NFL game has evolved.
A generation ago...JC would be a 1st rounder going away. he is a modern day Randy MacMillan
But in any event...he will be an excellent weapon for almost any team in the league.
Time to get paid James. you will be missed . ....

Couldn't have said it better. Would have loved to keep him a year and see him at full strength, but--what you said. Just a huge credit to his family, his city, his school, football, and humanity. All class all the time. Hope he makes more money than anyone ever has in the NFL.
Maybe I am looking thru blue and gold glasses, but Conner in the 5th to 7th is a steal. Best of luck to a fantastic young man.
I Am So Glad He's Leaving! Saw enough of him during our second game. Now if he can be drafted by the Black and Gold. I would love to follow his career as a Steeler.
I checked to sites that have him drafted in rounds 4-6! He is rated 15th to 18th best RB going into the 17 Draft! He's coming one with a deep class, whoever get him will get the steal of the Draft!
I think he's a mid-round back and it'd be insane if anyone let him drop past the fourth. I know I want this guy in the black and gold.
to paraphrase a quote that was relevant earlier this week..."Godspeed James Conner"
Don't be shocked if he doesn't fall a little because of the goofy way the NFL looks at things but if he stays healthy, JC can have a nice career.
