Could Christian McCafferey actually be a legit white rb pro prospect?

[PremierDaTruth]

In all seriousness, has there ever been one? One that ended up having a decent NFL career?

Larry Csonka was a FB but he had 8,000 rushing yards in his career

 

[BlackAchilles]

You mean like Toby Gerhart

 

[The War Report]

He'll be converted to receiver.

On one particular TD run last night(the 1st td run in the video), David Polack was gushing about a cut that he made calling it spectacular or some shyt. Watched the replay and that shyt was so basic that it didn't even look like a cutback.

He's leading the Power 5 schools in All purpose yards. So he's showing he can do a little bit of everything.

McCaffrey’s grandfather (Lisa’s dad), David Sime, was a world-record sprinter who took silver at the 1960 Olympics in the 100 meter-dash. His uncle, Billy McCaffrey, played basketball at Duke and Vanderbilt in the early ‘90s. Lisa herself played soccer at Stanford. And his father, Ed – you may remember him as a former All-Pro receiver for the two-time Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos.

In fact, an off-handed joke by Lisa in a 1998 Sports Illustrated profile on Ed has proven prophetic. With then 2-year-old Christian and 4-year old brother Max (now a senior receiver at Duke) running afoot during their interview, she joked to reporter Michael Silver, “That’s why Ed and I got together -- so we could breed fast white guys.”

He showing that you read stats. His runs show zero creativity or instincts.

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

I hate how folks on this board get so impressed by open hole runs where creativity and instincts aren't displayed.

Stop it.

De'Veon Smith has definitely been more impressive

If any white cat could be a legit prospect it'd be Ed McCaffrey's son. That cat was Jordy Nelson before Jordy Nelson on the Broncos. He was started to get into his groove then his leg snapped. Damn shame.

I live on the west coast. I've been able to see him play on multiple times (including against my team.) He's running, catching, returning kickoffs, and a few punts.

My exact quote was "So he's showing he can do a little bit of everything." Which regardless of the stats is a very true statement.

 

[KnowledgeDropper]

They will convert him into an Edelman / Harvin hybrid that may get carries but will primarily be a receiver and returner

 

[ZEupTWN]

i see him moving to receiver and making a impact with his versatility ala randle el and edelman.......I'm pretty sure his pops being a former player is in his ear telling him RB is not where its at

yes, many.

Just not since the 1990s.

Again..running...catching....who doesn't do that at the RB position? What makes him unique? What characteristics does he bear?

I dont see explosiveness....I don't see lateral movement or exceptional vision. What is it? I said the same about Barry Sanders Jr. coming out of HS irnonically.

he was good already in Denver

Crazy thing, McCaffrey breaking his leg on MNF and Jordan coming back were the biggest stories in the US when we woke up on September 11, 2001.

McCaffrey was in the league for a while prior to that injury and you forgot about Steve Largent. The goat white wr.

 

[I.V.]

Is he Ed's son?
