McCaffrey is coming off a tough season, but he just got the biggest win of his life.
He missed most of last year with injuries, and with Brandon Aiyuk also out with a torn ACL, Kyle Shanahan’s team failed to be at their best and even make the playoffs.
McCaffrey is reportedly back to full strength and ready to pick up things where he left them in 2023, when he ran away with AP Offensive Player of the Year honors, both literally and figuratively.
He was a force to be reckoned with in 2023, logging 272 carries for a whopping 1,459 yards and 14 touchdowns while also hauling in 67 receptions for 564 yards and seven touchdowns.
Notably, the Niners will need another season like that from the Stanford product, especially now that Deebo Samuel is no longer on the premises.
They just signed Brock Purdy to a huge contract extension, and as such, they will need everybody else to help him justify that big-money contract.
Christian McCaffrey has already shown what he’s capable of when he’s healthy, and it’s hard to argue that he’s not the most versatile weapon in the league.
But after playing in just three, seven, and six games in three of his seasons in the league, it’s hard to trust him to stay on the field.
