Stanford’s Christian McCaffrey is a running back ... and more

Christian McCaffrey doesn’t sugarcoat it: The Stanford running back feels disrespected.

“I play with a chip on my shoulder always,” McCaffrey said. “I feel like a lot of people don’t give me credit for my skills and talents. That’s just the way it is. But I also don’t really care too much.”

McCaffrey has heard the questions: Will he hold up to punishment? Can he be an every-down running back? Can he learn to pass protect?

“I’m not sure I would even label him as a back,” Houston Texans coach Bill O’Brien said.
