Despite injury, McCaffrey still ‘lives and dies’ with football: Coach admires steel spirit

Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey's Relationship Timeline

Christian McCaffrey, the San Francisco 49ers‘ superstar running back, isn’t letting a minor calf strain slow him down-at least not mentally. The NFL’s reigning Offensive Player of the Year has his mind firmly fixed on getting back onto the field, despite being temporarily sidelined. But it’s not just about physical recovery for McCaffrey; his obsession with the game runs deep, and it’s something that hasn’t gone unnoticed by his coach.

Christian McCaffrey's obsession with football even followed him down...

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, who’s seen it all in the NFL, couldn’t help but crack a joke that perfectly captured McCaffrey’s relentless dedication. Shanahan, while addressing the media after a team practice, drew a hilarious comparison that had everyone chuckling. According to Shanahan, McCaffrey’s obsession with football might even extend to his personal life-right down to his wedding day.

“Knowing Christian,” Shanahan quipped, “he was probably walking down the aisle at his wedding thinking about his footwork and how to run routes. No offense to Olivia, but football is always on his mind.” The Olivia in question? McCaffrey’s wife, model and actress Olivia Culpo, whom he married in a beautiful ceremony in Rhode Island this past June.

Shanahan’s playful jab didn’t seem too far off, especially considering the number of 49ers players who attended the wedding, including the ever-energetic George Kittle. The idea that McCaffrey was mentally running drills while tying the knot isn’t just a funny thought-it’s entirely believable.

Beneath the humor, though, Shanahan’s comments point to a deeper truth about McCaffrey’s work ethic. The coach acknowledged that McCaffrey’s obsessive preparation is what sets him apart from the rest. Even when injuries keep him off the field, the groundwork he’s laid ensures he bounces back quickly.

McCaffrey wrapped up the 2023 season with an impressive 1,459 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns, leading the league in rushing. It’s no wonder his teammates and coaches are confident he’ll return to form quickly, despite the current setback.

As the 49ers eye another Super Bowl run, McCaffrey’s absence might be felt, but there’s no panic in San Francisco. The team knows their star player will be back, likely stronger and more focused than ever, ready to push the 49ers to new heights in 2024.
