NFL teams can be sure that they're getting a very good football player if they select McCaffrey. He did miss some time in 2016 with an injury, and not all teams are sure of the role in which he'll be most effective. His genes (as the son of former NFL receiver "Easy Ed" McCaffrey), quickness (outstanding 6.57-second three-cone drill at the combine), and toughness (30-plus rushes in three of his last four games of 2016) put him near the top of teams' lists despite the question marks.
