Stanford tailback Christian McCaffrey will enter the NFL Draft, according to Bleacher Report.

McCaffrey, a third-year junior, is expected to be a first-round pick if he leaves school.

Sources in the Stanford football program had previously indicated that McCaffrey was mulling his options and was in no rush to make a decision.

The Cardinal declined to respond on the report; McCaffrey was not available for comment.

Underclassmen have until mid-January to submit paperwork for the draft.

The report comes from Bleacher Report’s NFL Draft analyst, Matt Miller, who cited “sources I’ve talked to.”
