Christian McCaffrey: Draft profile and testing record
The Stanford running back has a full set of running, jumping and lifting marks in the 2017 table. His 6.57 second cone drill measures a different movement pattern from his 4.48 second straight sprint.
Read the workout in context
Carolina used the eighth selection on the running back. Read his 121 inch broad jump alongside his 37.5 inch vertical: one measures horizontal distance and the other upward reach. Neither test counts receiving production or pass protection snaps.
Testing table

| Vertical jump | 37.5 inches |
| Broad jump | 121 inches |

College, size and draft selection
The college listed for this draft entry is Stanford. The selection was round 1, pick 8, in 2017, by Carolina Panthers. This identifies the selecting club rather than a present day team.
The reviewed draft record lists 5 ft 11 in and 202 pounds. Draft measurements describe that point in time. A later team roster can list different measurements, so use a dated roster for a current size question.
What this profile can answer
Start with the event notes when checking a sprint or jump claim. Then use the table to see which tests have a result. The draft section covers the college and selecting club, while the dedicated evidence pages answer narrower speed and assessment questions.
This is a historical testing profile, not a live injury or roster update. A workout cannot tell you whether an athlete will play this week. Check the current team injury report for availability and an official gamebook for game statistics.
What to check for this record
His 10 lifting repetitions and 6.57 second cone drill describe different tasks. Comparing the lifting count with a much heavier position group would hide the role and body size involved. The table records a workout; it does not turn one low or high mark into an overall player grade.
Questions readers ask
Which draft team selected this player?
Carolina Panthers selected the Stanford RB in round 1, at pick 8, in 2017. This is draft history, not a current roster claim.
What does an empty test field mean?
It means the reviewed source does not record a result. It does not mean zero, and it does not prove why the athlete did not have a listed mark.
