2017 NFL Draft Preview: Christian McCaffrey

The man who broke Barry Sanders all purpose yardage record is headed to the NFL among a rich crop of running backs. So how does he separate from the rest and where does he fit best for his skill set?

But first let us remember what he has done for the Cardinal. While the 3,864 all purpose yards and 15 total touchdowns will be the most remembered season of his college career, particularly the torching of Iowa in the Rose Bowl, he has always been a versatile stud. His freshman year he had 798 all purpose yards on only 73 total touches.
