Christian McCaffrey hasn’t been as impressive in his rookie season as many expected.
Still, the Carolina Panthers running back occasionally shows flashes of why he was taken with the eighth pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.

Cue the stickum jokes.
As great as this catch was, it’s still difficult to overlook McCaffrey’s underwhelming rookie-season numbers.
That’s not getting it done.
