Christian McCaffrey is the 23-year-old QB Brock Purdy’s MVP pick. Currently, RB Christian McCaffrey is having the best season of his life. He has already secured 13 TDs and is leading the charts with 1,292 rushing yards, gaining huge dominance over others. His control is evident enough through the difference between him and the second spot holder, James Cook at 968 yards.
Besides the RB, even his team, the 49ers have stamped authority in the NFC division by securing their eleventh victory. They have defeated the Cardinals 45-29 in the week 15 clash. Purdy’s exceptional performance has virtually grabbed his team a spot in the playoffs. He scored four TDs without a single interception and made sure he still has the best completion rate in this season. QB Brock Purdy has become a sure-shot contender for the MVP himself, but the humble guy has named CMC as his pick.
