CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey didn't anticipate having to jump about 5 feet to get over Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Carlton Davis during his 32-yard, first-quarter reception on Sunday.
It just instinctively happened, as everything seems to with the eighth pick of the 2017 draft.
But McCaffrey did anticipate some of the comments he heard after the 42-28 victory.
"'White man can jump,'" McCaffrey said with a laugh. "Got a lot of those, but I saw those coming."
McCaffrey has been relatively quiet the past month, in terms of big games and spectacular plays.
