BOTTOM LINE
Multidimensional runner with flex appeal for teams looking for a player who can carry the ball 20 times or catch it 10 depending on the game plan. McCaffrey's size, power and speed are just average, but he is able to create yardage for himself with his vision and elusiveness. McCaffrey's ability to return punts and kicks could be the value sweetner that pushes his name into the first round.

How the Player Fits in Carolina
McCaffrey brings an element to the Panthers offense that they have not had in a long time, if not ever. Some may argue he doesn’t fit the offense but honestly isn’t that Shula’s job to make him fit. The possibilities are endless.
