The San Francisco 49ers have finally etched his name in the NFL history. Known for his impressive rushing TDs and jaw-dropping offense has brought the gem to his house. Yes, you are right. The legend won the NFL Offensive Player of the Year this Thursday after completing 21 total touchdowns and impressive scrimmage yards in the NFL Honors award.

McCaffrey brings home the glory!

This Thursday the star running back has won two gems in his list. Firstly, the ultimate Super Bowl LVIII participation. Secondly, he locked his spot as the number one Offensive Player of the Year with a league-leading scrimmage yard en route to a 12-5 record. He suppressed impressive players like Tyreek Hill in the race. The latest X post of NFL Game Day reads, “McCaffrey led the NFL in touches, scrimmage yards & scrimmage TD in 2023.”

McCaffrey is one of the most elite players in the league. He led the team with 1,459 rushing yards, 2,023 total scrimmage yards, and 21 rushing and receiving touchdowns. On top of that, he aided the 49ers in sitting on the top seed in the NFC. The star RB has also finished winning 25 scrimmage touchdowns this season’s playoffs, which is the most by any player in a season since LaDainian Tomlinson.

The champ totally crushed his career games with a rushing and receiving score, just like Marshall Faulk did in NFL history. He’s now the third player ever to hit over 2000 scrimmage yards in a season for two different teams. Apart from him, the other players nominated for the offensive race are Tyreek Hill, CeeDee Lamb, Lamar Jackson, and Dak Prescott. Interestingly, McCaffrey became the fifth player from the 49ers to win the award, with Jerry Rice being the last player in 1993. Other players include Joe Montana, Steve Young, and Roger Craig. 

Christian McCaffrey’s prowess was also favored by many NFL insiders, including San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan.
