Christian McCaffrey believes he can be an every-down running back in the National Football League. McCaffrey also believes he can be an impact return man. And, oh yeah, if you need a wide receiver, he can be that too. The Stanford product and son of former standout NFL receiver Ed McCaffrey might be the most intriguing offensive player in this year’s draft.
“I don’t think there’s anybody else that can do all the things I can, as far as run between the tackles; [run] outside; pass protect; play X, Z, slot; do a bunch of stuff in the return game as well,” said McCaffrey on Thursday at the NFL Scouting Combine, with the X, Z and slot designations referring to receiver positions.
