The 49ers have had very good running backs during Kyle Shanahan’s tenure, but Christian McCaffrey is a different beast.
three days after he goes to work just 13 miles from where he played his college football at Stanford.Just this week, Shanahan spoke about where he sees the 49ers among the elite teams in the NFL.
McCaffrey is one of just three players in NFL history who have registered 1,000-1,000 seasons. Former 49ers running back Roger Craig was the first to do it. Then, along came Marshall Faulk.McCaffrey brings an element to the 49ers that the club has been lacking since Shanahan’s arrival in 2017.They have found plenty of success on the ground with a revolving door in the backfield.
The 49ers’ offense needed a boost after ranking 19th in the NFL through six games with just 20.3 points per game.
