The Phinsider on Christian McCaffrey
From the article
Sean Duggan: "I think he's obviously a really good back. He's done it for a while and at a really high level... his ability to run the ball, his vision, his ability to stop, start in the hole and accelerate. Extremely shifty and he runs hard... He does a really good job running behind his pads and has good contact balance. And then his ability out of the backfield to catch the ball."
STACKED’s take
McCaffrey's elite running, vision, contact balance, and receiving threat make him a complete weapon.
Sean Duggan on the challenge of facing 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey: McCaffrey demonstrates elite running ability with excellent vision, stop-start acceleration, and shiftiness; he runs hard behind his pads with good contact balance, making him difficult to tackle despite his lateral agility. His receiving threat out of the backfield is equally dangerous—when he gets the ball in his hands, defenders must be aware of his location at all times. Jeff Hafley adds that McCaffrey is a great runner with big-play capability, strong contact balance, and the ability to catch the ball and run routes; Hafley ranks him among the best backs in the league.
