I once thought Christian McCaffrey was a pretty cool kid, a great athlete and apparently a stellar student at Stanford University.
HeĀ has beenĀ a key part of the Stanford Cardinal’s football success. His team is going to play in the Sun Bowl.
But wait! McCaffrey isn’t going to join his teammates. Why? He says he wants to devote his entire energy to “preparing” for the upcoming National Football League draft. Meanwhile, his Stanford teammates are going to do some actual training and prep for their Dec. 30 game in El Paso against the University of North Carolina.
I always thought McCaffrey was a team guy. He always lauded his fellow Cardinal players for the success he enjoyed on the field.
Now he’s going to quit on them to get ready for the NFL draft? Is he hurt? No. Does he have any emotional problems that force him to take his mind off of football? Uh, no again. He’s healthy at all levels.
Let’s see. Doesn’t one just sit by the phone on draft day and wait for a call? Someone has to explain a few things to me. How much preparation is involved with that, young man?
