Christian McCaffrey and Bijan Robinson are producing and showing versatility that should alter the perception of the running back position.
addressed the situation of the devaluation the running back position in an interview earlier this year. And so far through the first quarter of the season, McCaffrey has co-signed on those comments.standout is among the front-runners for offensive MVP. Adrian Peterson is the last running back to be named MVP following the 2012 season.
"I actually was talking about this with the D-line," Bosa told reporters."As a D-line, I don't give too much respect to running backs usually, just because of how well we've played the run since we've been here. But I think my mind has changed on that a little bit. There's definitely some guys in the league that you really have to prepare for. And he's most definitely one of them.
McCaffrey has 292 yards and three touchdowns running on the perimeter and 167 yards and three scores running in between the tackles. Because of his versatility, San Francisco head coach and offensive play-caller Kyle Shanahan can use McCaffrey as a chess piece against the defense.
Running backs typically take the most hits of any player on offense and therefore have the shortest shelf life of any player, and the position is viewed as fungible because talented runners can sometimes be found in the later stages of the draft or as undrafted free agents. When I talked to Austin Ekeler about the running back issue, the veteran runner said his fellow running backs had to prove their worth by continuing to produce on the field. FOX Sports NFL analyst Bucky Brooks offered that not all running backs are created equal, and players like McCaffrey and Robinson are certainly proving that so far this season.
