In a recent game against the Colts, 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey surpassed 1,000 rushing yards for the season and is close to achieving 1,000 receiving yards as well. With 1,039 rushing yards and 849 receiving yards, he aims to join an elite group that includes his previous accomplishment in 2019 and legends like Roger Craig and Marshall Faulk. Should he achieve this milestone while helping the 49ers secure the No. 1 seed in the NFC, McCaffrey could garner MVP votes despite the typical preference for quarterbacks. His performance highlights his crucial role in the 49ers’ success, especially during quarterback Brock Purdy’s absence.
