2017 NFL draft prospect commencement, No. 13: Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford

What you have to know: In 2015, McCaffrey scrambled for 2,019 yards and increased 3,601 universally handy yards-setting the Pac-12 record-which was adequate to complete second in Heisman voting, less than 300 focuses behind victor Derrick Henry.

By correlation, 2016 was seen as somewhat of a mistake. Regardless he piled on 1,603 yards surging and a profession high 16 touchdowns-not terrible for a "down" year. His numbers would have been considerably higher had he not missed two diversions with a hip harm, and he additionally picked to sit out Stanford's bowl amusement to plan for the draft. Be that as it may, before Stanford's bowl trip, McCaffrey was energizing. Over the last five amusements of his school vocation, he arrived at the midpoint of 198.2 yards on the ground and scored 12 consolidated touchdowns (surging and accepting).

Qualities: Ever hit the juke catch while playing a football computer game? At that point you comprehend what it would appear that when McCaffrey cuts. His shocking alter of-course ability is similarly as viable behind the line, when he plants to flame through a path, as it is in the open field-McCaffrey put a great many defenders on his highlight reel in those one-on-one circumstances.

How great a competitor is McCaffrey? Simply check the join numbers: 4.48-second 40-yard dash, 37.5" vertical, 6.57-second three cone, 4.22-second short transport. He doesn't have an unmatched north-south burst, however consolidating sub-4.5 speed with his horizontal development makes him the playmaker he is with the ball in his grasp.

The trickiness probably assumed a part in his prosperity as an arrival man and collector. He could contribute either spot at the following level, in spite of the fact that it's truly in the passing diversion where he may separate himself. McCaffrey (5' 11", 202 lbs.) is a characteristic course runner and hands catcher, to such an extent that he could end up observing a dominant part of his snaps in the space, contingent upon which offense he arrives in.

"Something I truly pride myself on is not simply being a running back that can get the ball, however in the event that I move out to the space, I turn into a beneficiary," McCaffrey said. "On the off chance that I move out to "X" or "Z," I turn into a recipient and not only a running back. I truly attempt to pride myself on course running, finding and having the capacity to be a confound anyplace on the field."

Progressive as he is on the border, McCaffrey did plentiful work at Stanford between the handles. He needn't bother with quite a bit of a wrinkle to clear to the second level, and he keeps running with the tolerance to give his obstructs a chance to unfurl.

Shortcomings: Filed under "it is the thing that it is," we discover McCaffrey's construct. He may include some muscle once he hits a NFL weight program, as new kid on the block are wont to do, however his casing's as of now quite well cut. He is not worked to be a prototypical 230-lb., chime cow back. In all actuality, that did not prevent him from conveying an overwhelming workload at Stanford, yet the 672 consolidated hostile touches he had in 201516 may conflict with him, as well that is a considerable measure of tread off the tires for a back, and he missed recreations to damage.

McCaffrey's side-to-side development transforms any endeavor to square him up into a remarkable attempt, but at the same time he's not going to lower his shoulder and move the heap much. The quality again becomes an integral factor when McCaffrey is made a request to piece, despite the fact that those minutes ought to be few and far between given how hazardous he is as an accepting risk.

The McCaffrey negatives are nitpicking in light of style inclination. On the off chance that a group needs a power back to granulate out conveys, it should look somewhere else. On the off chance that it needs a flexible player worked for the present day diversion, McCaffrey must be close to the highest priority on the rundown.
