Too small for the next level?

Sure is fun to watch. Not sure about his pro prospects but I wouldn't be upset if my Texans drafted him in 2017.

Does a lot of things well. Catches, returns kicks. Few every down backs anymore, got to think there's a place for him. Guy is just a good football player. Woodhead seems to be the obvious comparison right now...

I'm glad you started this thread.
Just because he's white, doesn't mean everyone should compare him to just white guys. LOL He is NOTHING like Alstott was. Alstott had about 30 lbs on him and wasn't nearly as fast as McCaffrey is. He's about the same size as Jamaal Charles, but just about a 1/10 slower in the 40. Same thing with Peyton Hillis - he had more size than McCaffrey.
I was astounded at McCaffrey's speed and vision today. I had no idea he was that fast. I had not seen him play, and now I felt like I've missed out on watching him. He is going to be a fantastic player at the NFL level.

40 times means zip with elusiveness like he displays. It'd just be a bonus.

Woodhead is an awful comparison.
Have seen comparisons to Gio, Westbrook
I'm impressed with his quick feet, hands and vision. Shows good toughness and versatility.
Runs between the tackles, doesn't go down on first contact.
Combine will be very important for the measurables, but he has everything else
Personally, if he is sub 4.5 and over 205lbs, I think he may sneak into the first round. Seriously.
The way the NFL game is evolving, it's easy to see him having success in the NFL

Interesting comparison to Westbrook..I think their skillsets may be similar but they look different on the field to me.

Having this discussion yesterday with friends. Did you know McCaffery is 6 feet tall? The conclusion we reached was that Forte is the best comparison in the nfl.TripItUp said:

The only similarities between McCaffery and Czonka/Riggins is skin color. Very different running styles. Both Czonka and Riggins were power runners. and neither returned kicks IIRC.

Many of you are missing the sarcasm in this thread...
The elephant in the room is that he is white and there hasn't been a successful, quick twitch, white halfback in the history of the game.(not a fullback like Riggins and not a third down/part time back like Woodhead)
He'll be a marketing/brand sensation if he is the first all pro white halfback of the modern era.

High motor guy blessed with a high football IQ as well. Teammates love him.

not to mention that every white WR in the past 15 years has been compared to his dad...

if he can figure out how, there's no way Elway doesn't draft him. Local kid, from Stanford, and Elway is all about nepotism.

Not true at all. Before he blew out his knee Craig James fit the bill. But there hasn't been a White guy like this since the King and Jon Arnett. If you are going to compare him to a guy from anything beyond that era it would be a smaller Marcus Allen or a faster Reggie Bush. Did this guy run track in high school?
