Then Griffin further talked about how to stop McCaffrey, as he said, “When you think about how do you stop a running back? You load the box. But ask yourself, how do you stop Christian McCaffrey? It’s not that simple. The only thing that stopped Christian McCaffrey over the course of his career has been injuries.”

Later, the former QB explained how McCaffrey’s versatility can help the team win the Super Bowl. “His versatility is going to open up things for Deebo (Samuel), Kido (Lopez), (Brandon)Aiyuk and make Jimmy Garoppolo’s job a lot easier.
