McCaffrey returns to Bay Area, where he starred for Stanford from 2014-2016.
SANTA CLARA — If the 49ers wanted Christian McCaffrey, they could have taken him with the No. 3 draft pick in 2017. Instead, they took his Stanford classmate, Solomon Thomas.McCaffrey is coming to the 49ers via a trade with the Carolina Panthers, ESPN’s Adam Schefter first reported Thursday night, well ahead of the NFL’s Nov. 1 trade deadline approaches. A league source confirmed the trade.
Before McCaffrey came to Levi’s Stadium as a 2017 rookie, he recalled how Shanahan may have been his babysitter in their Colorado days, when Ed McCaffrey played for the Broncos from 1995-2003 under Mike Shanahan . Shanahan noted back in 2017 that McCaffrey’s dad, Ed, “was the man” and was why Shanahan used to wear No. 87 in college. Speaking of college, Lynch went to Stanford and played with Ed McCaffrey.
Here are some pros and cons to consider of McCaffrey coming back to the Bay Area and joining the 49ers ahead of Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs ., 26, has seen his career derailed in recent seasons by injuries, not to mention the fact he is on one of the NFL’s worst franchises. He missed 23 of 33 games in the 2020-21 seasons.
The 49ers have been without Mitchell since his season-opening knee sprain. The 49ers are otherwise almost back up to full health in their running back corps. Fill-in starter Jeff Wilson Jr. is beloved — at least he was before last Sunday’s first-quarter fumble in Atlanta — and still awaiting their true NFL shot are rookies Ty Davis-Price and Jordan Mason. Tevin Coleman has responded with hot-then-cold appearances as Wilson’s backup.
Even this season, with Baker Mayfield struggling as the Panthers’ latest quarterback, McCaffrey has been the go-to guy. He has 393 rushing yards and 277 receiving yards .
