McCaffrey: Sport Science

He has some of the quickest feet I've ever seen.

But....but....he's white!

He wasn't my preference but if he is durable and his skills translate to the NFL then it should be awesome.

I haven't been this excited about a pick in awhile. I think McCaffrey is going to be an amazing offensive weapon for Cam. 

Throw in Olsen, Stew, and a finally healthy KB, plus possibly a finally 'put it all together' Funchess and maybe another draft pick at WR?

Our offense is going to be loaded.

The part where they compare is his 10 yard acceleration time to Antonio Brown is insane because he's not even running in a straight line

If he'd never played RB at Stanford (3600+ yds. in his last 25 games), but had been just a WR, I think he still may have been a 1st round pick. Just get the ball in his hands with a tiny bit of space, and if there's none there he'll use those quick feet and find some.

Don't feel like starting another thread, but here is a pre-draft article breaking down how much of a badass CMC is: https://www.fantasyguru.com/articles/yards-created-christian-mccaffrey

 

To be honest, it was quite hard to find two “bad” statistical games to sample for McCaffrey. Over the last two seasons combined, McCaffrey has gained at least 110 yards from scrimmage in 22-of-25 games with 10 occurrences over 200 all-purpose yards. What’s amazing, too, is McCaffrey gained 150 scrimmage yards in all but three games in 2016

alone (out of 12 contests).

This all goes without mentioning that McCaffrey was also an unbelievable return-man while at Stanford, too. Among college kick return-men with at least 50 career attempts, McCaffrey ranks 45^th since 2000 in yards per kick return (26.4). For reference, Rotoviz’s Jon Moore wrote about the hidden value of college Special Teams stats in 2015.

From a counting statistics perspective, McCaffrey is one of the most prolific college rushers—and receivers—of our time. In fact, he is one of just 12 running backs since 2000 to run for at least 3,500 yards and have over 1,000 receiving yards in a career. Among players on that list, McCaffrey leads everyone in both yards per carry (6.2) and yards per reception (12.1) for their respective careers. That’s absurd.

this is the guy we've lacked on offense since Rivera and Cam took over. 

 

we got a 21 year old Lesean McCoy without the diva baggage
