first time I saw Christian in person um was when we went on our recruiting trip and I could kind of tell he was special as I think he was wearing like a large t-shirt and his biceps were just like ripping out of the thing there's actually a photo of us where we both have our arm around each other and his arm is bigger than mine freshman first day we all come in together and the Vets are all doing a different run than we do and they all have these like weight vests on Christian ran I think put two vests on so he had like 36 lbs of weight on him and ran with the the upper classman and just cooked everybody how about Chris why he should be on the list number one for me uh taking myself out of the equation I say CMAC there was a consensus number one running back in 23 Christian McCaffrey is the best player on the field maybe the best player in the league now you're talking Christian mcaffry he is the go-to guy the everything guy for this 49ers offense stays play side bricks attack the 45 block from aay down the sideline [Music] touchdown CMC CMAC is he's a different cat now and the toughness that he displays like you can see him run with that Dem demeanor you would think he has nothing more to prove but it seems like he's always running with that man and it's cool to watch Christian mcaffrey had an allpro year leading the NFL in both rushing yards and scrimmage yards on his way to offensive player of the year couldn't really stop the guy running the ball receiving the ball you never seem to lay a good hit on him he breaks through tackles he runs hard every single time he blocks he he does everything he's like a a renaissance man with the fact that he has dedicated himself to each facet of the game almost every run is a mic drop frankly It's tricky to tackle run CMC [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] mcaffrey once again like a surfer just ride the wave and cut it back C back oh that L I tell you what Chris mcaffry is a pretty tough guy in between those tackles and out on the edge Christian mcaffrey you think of him as being a little scatback guy but he is a ballif fire when you're trying to tackle everybody knows what coming can you stop it it's been the mcaffrey show tonight Charles mcaffry a cut back run 30 it's 340 maaf he's gone birie going to throw a double pass back to Jaan Jennings a throwback across the field to mafy he's got it 20 10 5 touchdown CMC
