Comparing a player’s athletic traits to past and current NFL players
from DLF
DLF: McCaffrey was one of the most impressive athletes at the combine. His 6.57 three cone time was impeccable and is one of the factors that allow him to stand out amongst this year’s batch of rookies. LeSean McCoy’s name is illuminated in strobe lights in McCaffrey’s comparable list. McCoy has been one of the most productive backs in the last eight years and he is physically almost identical to McCaffrey. With a solid collegiate career and an amazing combine performance, McCaffrey is setting himself up to becoming one of the top drafts prospects to emerge from the collegiate ranks in the last few years.
Yahoo Sports: 2. Christian McCaffrey, Stanford (also WR) — 5-11, 202 — Reggie Bush clone who runs routes like an NFL receiver already, has good rushing instincts and will be a strong return threat as well
NFL Overview: McCaffrey was an electrifying player for the Cardinal and watching his workouts makes it easy to envision the same outcome on the NFL level. He was asked to do nearly everything in the Stanford offense thanks to his ability to catch the ball easily and make people miss in space. McCaffrey is willing to lower his shoulder to pick up extra yards but wasn't overly successful in short yardage. He also showed good kick return skills while playing for the Cardinals. Questions about overuse (672 offensive touches the past two seasons) will be there, but shouldn't be a major red flag. In the short term, he'll find his mark as a multi-dimensional player who works as a running back and occasional slot WR. That should be enough to earn him plenty of fantasy interest. If he can work into a larger role, that interest will rise.

DRAFT ANALYSIS: "I love his patience. He's not Le'Veon Bell, but his patience is like that. ... He's a four-down player. I love LeSean McCoy, and this guy's every bit as athletic." -- Mike Mayock
