It was announced on July 26th on Twitter. “I feel the best I’ve ever felt.” says the 26-year-old athlete, who had an unimpressive season in 2021 because of succumbing to various injuries. This, in turn, affected his statistics greatly.
The problems Christian McCaffrey faced in 2021
It was a well-known fact that the previous season of the NFL was not the most amazing for the star RB. McCaffrey, when healthy, is one of the best at his position. However, owing to a thigh hamstring strain, he missed five games before rolling his ankle in November. The Panthers’ no. 22 was placed on injured reserve. This resulted in him being left out for the season. Carolina started strong but ended up finishing with a 5-12 record. McCaffrey could only play seven games out of 17.
