1. He's "a football player": When Thomas Davis announced the Panthers' first-round pick in Philadelphia, the linebacker called Christian McCaffrey a wide receiver AND running back. While that may have been a slip of the tongue – or an Oscars-like mistake on the card – McCaffrey is officially listed as a running back. But he'll likely play plenty in the slot. And jump in on punt returns.
"I'm a football player," he said Thursday night when asked which position he tells people he plays. "I'll go where they need me."
In 2015, McCaffrey broke Barry Sanders' record for most all-purpose yards in a season, and in his three seasons at Stanford, he had 21 rushing touchdowns while adding 10 scores as a receiver and two more as a returner.
