The OPOY is set to enter his ninth season in the league and his third season with the 49ers since being traded in Week 7 of the 2022 season. McCaffrey is coming off the best statistical season of his career that in addition to OPOY honors included unanimous First-Team All-Pro and Pro Bowl selections.
With his top-tier production level in 2023, McCaffrey cemented himself into the league’s history books. He closed out the season as the NFL rushing yards leader (1,459), the league rushing touchdowns leader (14), the scrimmage triple-crown title holder (leader in touches, yards and touchdowns) and eclipsed the 2,000-yard scrimmage yards mark for the second time in his career. McCaffrey is just the third player in NFL history to record 2,000-or-more yards with two different franchises, joining the likes of Hall of Fame running backs Eric Dickerson (Los Angeles Rams and Indianapolis Colts) and Marshall Faulk (St. Louis Rams and Colts).
