San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan might have a bit too much insight into just how often Christian McCaffrey thinks about football, even when the running back's mind should be on more important matters.
A reporter asked Shanahan on Tuesday about how the reigning Offensive Player of the Year intends to be ready for Week 1 of the regular season while he nurses a calf strain. The head coach harped on how "obsessive about everything" this year's Madden cover athlete is, and that McCaffrey's decisions both on and off the field are "so deliberate," dismissing the implied concerns about the player's readiness.
