I think Christian McCaffrey can. He makes everybody’s job easier.”

It’s not that simple. The only thing that stopped Christian McCaffrey over the course of his career has been injuries.”
Later, the former QB explained how McCaffrey’s versatility can help the team win the Super Bowl. “His versatility is going to open up things for Deebo (Samuel), Kido (Lopez), (Brandon)Aiyuk and make Jimmy Garoppolo’s job a lot easier. And we talked about how everything has to be right for Jimmy G to help you win the fight. Well, Christian McCaffrey gives him another hook shot, and he’s a big one,” he further said.
