CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey on Sunday joined Roger Craig and Marshall Faulk as the only players to have 1,000 yards rushing and receiving in the same season.
McCaffrey came into the season finale against the New Orleans Saints needing 67 yards receiving to reach the milestone, first achieved by Craig in 1985 and later by Faulk in 1999.
He took care of that with a 17-yard catch late in the third quarter to give him exactly 67 yards.
"Christian is the coolest kid on the planet,'' Craig told ESPN.
