Christian McCaffrey showcased his readiness for the upcoming season during a joint practice, demonstrating impressive performance with eight carries and six receptions. Brock Purdy and Coach Kyle Shanahan noted McCaffrey's high level of fitness and enthusiasm, crucial for a 49ers offense dealing with multiple injuries. McCaffrey's comeback from injuries last year, including Achilles tendinitis and a knee issue, positions him as a key player. Both Purdy and Shanahan praised his speed, strength, and mental state as indicators of a productive season ahead for McCaffrey and the team.
When he gets to go up and meet one of their linebackers in the 'A' gap or Maxx Crosby coming around, that gets him going and he really likes that to compete. For me to watch that, it was pretty cool.
He keeps telling all of us in the locker room, 'Dude, I can't wait. I can't wait.' For me as a quarterback, I love hearing that. ... He's ready to roll.
Physically he looks great, getting in and out of cuts, running hard, back to the McCaffrey that we all know. Mentally, he's just on one.
He's as fast as he's been. He's as quick, as strong. He's Christian McCaffrey.
