Carolina Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey will not be allowed to participate in the upcoming minicamp until Thursday, June 16, because Stanford is still having final exams.

Footballguys View: The NFL rule prohibits rookies who played at quarter-system schools (like Stanford) to join their pro team until the school’s final exams are complete. Stanford students won’t be done with exams until Wednesday evening, so therefore McCaffrey has to wait until Thursday to make his on-field debut with the veterans. This rule has kept McCaffrey out since rookie minicamp.
