The San Francisco 49ers traded for then Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey on October 20, 2022. Three days later, McCaffrey made his Niners debut against the Kansas City Chiefs, where he played 22 snaps.
Twelve of those were on passing routes, while eight of those were on running downs. San Francisco sprinkled in two pass blocking snaps for good measure. Taking on a similar workload as Jeff Wilson that day, who had been in the same offense since 2018, tells you all you need to know about CMC’s work ethic.
