00:00The first time I saw Christian in person was when we went on our recruiting trip and I could kind of tell he was special as I think he was wearing like a large t-shirt and his biceps were just like ripping out of the thing.
00:11There's actually a photo of us where we both have our arms around each other and his arm is bigger than mine.
00:15Freshman first day we all come in together and the vets are all doing a different run than we do and they all have these like weight vests on.
00:21Christian ran, I think put two vests on, so he had like 36 pounds of weight on him and ran with the upperclassmen and just cooked everybody.
00:37How about Christian?
00:39Why he should be on the list?
00:42Number one for me, taking myself out of the equation.
00:49I say, see you, Matt.
00:52There was a consensus number one running back in 23.
00:57Christian McCaffrey's the best player on the field, maybe the best player in the league.
01:01Now you're talking.
01:02Christian McCaffrey, he is the go-to guy, the everything guy for this 49ers offense.
01:11Stays, plays side, breaks a tackle, 45, blocked from IU, down the sideline, touchdown!
01:19C-M-C!
01:22C-Mac is, he's a different cat now.
01:25And the toughness that he displays, like you can see him run with that demeanor.
01:30You would think he has nothing more to prove, but it seems like he's always running with that man and it's cool to watch.
01:35Christian McCaffrey had an all-pro year, leading the NFL in both rushing yards and scrimmage yards, on his way to Offensive Player of the Year.
01:44He couldn't really stop the guy.
01:50Running the ball, receiving the ball, you never seem to lay a good hit on him.
01:56He breaks through tackles.
01:57He runs hard every single time.
01:59He blocks.
02:00He does everything.
02:02He's like a renaissance man with the fact that he has dedicated himself to each facet of the game.
02:07Almost every run is a mic drop.
02:10Frankly, it's tricky to tackle Run-CMC.
02:33McCaffrey, once again, like a surfer.
02:35Just ride the wave and cut it back.
02:39Cut back.
02:39Ooh, that leg.
02:41Cut back.
02:42I tell you what, Christian McCaffrey's a pretty tough guy in between those tackles and out on the edge.
02:47Christian McCaffrey, we think of him as being a little scat-back guy, but he is a ball of fire when you're trying to tackle him.
