The San Francisco 49ers’ Running Back, Christian McCaffrey is one of the most exciting players to watch in the NFL. McCaffrey is in his seventh season in the NFL and still carries a chip on his shoulder every time he plays. He had a historic season in 2023-24, setting record after record, and was in the discussion for the NFL MVP. In the 2023 NFL season, McCaffrey has been the best running back in the league and it is not even close. He has rushed for 1,459 yards and had 21 touchdowns including 14 on the ground. His efforts saw him win the 2023 NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award.
In his early days, McCaffrey was a three-sport athlete who played football, basketball and ran track. On a varsity team during his playing career from 2010-2014, McCaffrey set three different state records for total touchdowns, receiving touchdowns, and yards. He was also named the Colorado Gatorade Football Player of the Year twice for his junior and senior seasons. During his winter breaks, McCaffrey played varsity basketball and ran track when it was spring. His start to his NFL career was slow as he was slowly adjusting his game but in his second season, McCaffrey took off. He played as the running back, receiver, and quarterback position all at once. In 2018, McCaffrey had 50 yards rushing, 50 yards passing, and 50 yards receiving, joining Walter Payton in NFL history to do the same thing he did. In 2019, McCaffrey joined Roger Craig, and Marshall Faulk as the only three players in NFL history to have 1000-plus receiving and rushing yards in a single season.
