49ers RB Christian McCaffrey 2,000 scrimmage yards 2nd time career

49ers' Christian McCaffrey is the 4th player in franchise history to surpass 2,000 scrimmage yards in a single season.

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey has achieved an impressive milestone, needing just 68 scrimmage yards to surpass 2,000 total yards in a single season for the second time in his career. This accomplishment comes after his first feat in 2019, where he amassed an impressive 2,392 scrimmage yards.

During the second quarter, McCaffrey crossed the 2,000-yard mark, making him the fourth player in franchise history to do so. He joins the ranks of Frank Gore, Garrison Hearst, and Roger Craig as the only 49ers to achieve this impressive milestone.

With an NFL-leading 1,395 rushing yards and 21 total touchdowns, McCaffrey has been a pivotal player in the 49ers' success this season. His performance has not gone unnoticed, with head coach Kyle Shanahan praising his durability and work ethic.

Shanahan expressed his admiration for McCaffrey's dedication to preparation, noting that he is constantly focused on improving his game and maintaining his physical condition. McCaffrey's commitment to his craft has been evident throughout the season, and he has proven himself to be a valuable asset to the team.

In addition to his accomplishments with the 49ers, McCaffrey has also made NFL history by becoming only the third player to record at least 2,000 scrimmage yards in a season for two different teams. This places him in the esteemed company of Pro Football Hall of Famers Eric Dickerson and Marshall Faulk. McCaffrey's impact on the field has solidified his status as one of the league's most talented and versatile players.
