Should Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey be higher than No. 5 on CBS Sports’ top-100 players list?
There is little doubting the credentials of Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey. His three-year stint in the NFL so far has quickly elevated him to an All-Pro level and one of the league’s most dynamic offensive players.
His importance to the Carolina Panthers organization was quickly recognized by the new regime, who gave McCaffrey a four-year, $64 million contract extension that included a $21 million signing bonus and $38 million guaranteed.
