McCaffrey impresses at combine, hopes he’s silenced doubters

INDIANAPOLIS — At Stanford, Christian McCaffrey accounted for touchdowns rushing, receiving and passing. He scored on punt returns and kickoff returns. He won the Paul Hornung Award, which is given to college football’s most versatile player.

“There’s a lot I can’t do,” McCaffrey said, smiling.
