The San Francisco 49ers have one of the most dynamic offensive weapons in NFL history. Christian McCaffrey continues to write his name in the record books, and that’s not going to change any time soon.
As shown by SleeperNFL, McCaffrey recently joined exclusive company with historic career stats.
He is now alongside Marshall Faulk, Marcus Allen and Tiki Barber as the only four players with at least 7,000 career rushing yards and 5,000 career receiving yards.

Perhaps the most impressive part about this is that McCaffrey has done so despite missing so many games with injuries. Most players who have been as banged up as he’s been would be out of the league by now. He, instead, comes back stronger and better every time.
Injuries have, unfortunately, been a big part of the Niners’ recent seasons. They continue to lose players, yet have somehow managed to stay competitive this season.
Backup quarterback Mac Jones has done an outstanding job filling in while Brock Purdy is out with a toe injury. Of course, plenty of that has to do with McCaffrey taking the pressure off his shoulders as both a ball carrier and a pass catcher.
That being said, head coach Kyle Shanahan might be facing a tough decision once Purdy is healthy enough to play. The 49ers are doing fine with this Jones-McCaffrey tandem, and they may not want to mess with that.
