McCaffrey credited with helping save man's life
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Add saving lives to the list of talents for Carolina Panthers multifaceted running back Christian McCaffrey.
The eighth pick of the 2017 draft was hiking with family and friends in Castle Rock, Colorado, on Saturday when they witnessed 72-year-old Dan Smoker fall about 20 feet onto a rock.
McCaffrey immediately called 911 and then rushed with others in his group to help Smoker, who at the hospital was determined to have suffered a broken femur, pelvis and neck, fractured ribs and had internal bleeding on the brain.
"I credit them with saving my dad's life,'' Smoker's 13-year-old grandson, Eli, told Panthers.com on Tuesday.
