Christian McCaffrey

A banged-up McCaffrey lasted just four games last season

Shanahan expressed no concerns about McCaffrey's 2025 status after he missed much of the 2024 season with an ongoing Achilles injury. CMC totaled 348 yards over four games last season, posting the lowest rushing success rate of his NFL career. Shanahan complimented Isaac Guerendo, who "ran harder as the year went, which is a good sign." The team this offseason parted ways with RB Jordan Mason, who now plays for the Vikings. Guerendo started three games and averaged a healthy five yards per carry on 84 rushing attempts last season. He could be used as a complement to McCaffrey in 2025 if the Niners are intent on keeping the veteran healthy and upright in his ninth NFL season.

During the 2024 season, running back Jordan Mason impressed as San Francisco s lead back with Christian McCaffrey sidelined due to injury.
