The saying states that the rich always get richer, and that’s usually the case in the National Football League.
It happened again when the San Francisco 49ers added one of the best offensive players on Earth to their already-impressive core of players, trading for former Carolina Panthers star Christian McCaffrey.
McCaffrey looked thrilled to join the Niners last season, and that feeling hasn’t changed in the slightest thus far.
According to star pass rusher Nick Bosa, he’s tailor-made for Kyle Shanahan’s offense, as he said on NFL Top 100 (via PFF).

Truth be told, it’s hard to argue with this statement, as the Niners currently have arguably the most versatile set of skill players in the game, and it’s not even close.
It feels like they can just line up McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, and Kyle Juszczyk everywhere on the field, and they would be more than able to pull off something beautiful.
The Niners have been one of the best and most consistent teams in the league for years now, but poor QB play has set them back year after year.
That was the case again last season when they lost all three of their quarterbacks, and not even McCaffrey’s great play could help them get over the hump.
But with a new season ahead and McCaffrey looking as healthy as he’s ever been, the Niners are once again expected to be among the biggest powerhouses in the NFC — and the league as a whole — and some believe it’s time they finish the job before the fans start asking for Shanahan’s head.
